Bartolomé: The Infanta's Pet
Bartolomé: The Infanta's Pet

Dwarf's journey from outcast to royal artist.

"Bartolomé: The Infanta's Pet" is a vivid dive into a rarely explored perspective in historical fiction. It's deeply moving for anyone interested in the resilience of the human spirit. As Bartolomé navigates the complexities and cruelties of life as the Infanta's 'pet', you'll find yourself rooting for his courage and his quest for dignity. His discovery of the artist's studio offers a beautiful metaphor for finding one's place in a world that often seems impenetrable. This book isn't just a read; it's an emotional experience set against a rich historical tapestry.

Until Bartolomé discovers the artist's studio...Colourful and gripping, this is an inspiring story of courage and hope.
