Christie The King's Servant is a historical fiction novel written by Mrs. O. F. Walton. The story is set in 17th century England, during the reign of King Charles II. The main character, Christie, is a young boy who lives in poverty with his mother. One day, he is taken in by a wealthy family and becomes a servant in the King's court. As Christie becomes more involved in the political and social life of the court, he learns about the complex relationships between the King, his advisors, and the people of England. He also discovers secrets about his own family and past that have been kept hidden from him. Throughout the novel, Christie faces challenges and obstacles, including betrayal and danger, but he remains loyal to the King and his duties as a servant. The story is a compelling tale of loyalty, courage, and perseverance, set against the backdrop of a fascinating period in English history.That night I had a strange dream.
