Mundt, Madame Klara Muller

Madame Mundt was the author of a large number of historical novels. They are without special literary merit, but display considerable descriptive power and are so entertaining that they have done much, in England and America, as well as in Germany, to interest young people in the various historical characters which are presented. Among them may be mentioned Marie Antoinette and Her Son, Joseph II and his Court, Queen Hortense, Frederick the Great and His Court, Henry VIII and His Court.
