LORD BYRON's STORY -- THE BOY - THE MAN - THE LEGENDREADERS' FAVORITE BOOK AWARD WINNER"Will seduce the reader right off the bat." IAN BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD for OUTSTANDING HISTORICAL FICTIONHe was later to become known as "The most beautiful and most famous man in England" -- but not yet.... Beginning when he is a boy of ten years old, we join George Gordon when he is living a miserable life with his manic Scottish mother in a few rented rooms above a shop in Aberdeen, unaware that his true heritage is with the English aristocracy - who soon come to claim him. A life of wealth and privilege is then bestowed upon him, which eventually sets the stage for him to prove his own individual worth, in his own way, and in his own time.Meticulously researched, and adapted into novel form, 'A Strange Beginning' is the first of a series of books about the most iconic young man of his time, whose fame still lives on today. "My name alone shall be my epitaph." -- BYRON Although presented here in novel form and cloaked in the style of fiction, this is the true and meticulously researched story of the most iconic superstar of his time - Lord Byron. Ignoring all the old unproven rumours and sensational scandals fabricated at the time - which have since been regurgitated by biographers of every generation - all the events in this book come from the people who physically were THERE with Byron at the time. If they were not there, and did not write about it, or were not eyewitnesses to the events - they are not included in this book.
