Napoleon’s Rosebud

Still smarting from his defeat at Waterloo, still the hero of Liberals everywhere, Napoleon is exiled to tiny Saint Helena because it is the remotest and most easily defended island in the British Empire.

But far from being broken by defeat, Napoleon’s fertile imagination seethes with escape schemes. He meets a local beauty on his first evening on the island and instantly knows he has found what he is looking for: his conduit to freedom.
