To this day, no one is sure exactly what caused his untimely death in a lake.Who was this man: fairy tale king? Insane eccentric? Mad King Ludwig's life followed many twists and turns on its way to Not So Happily Ever After.The book's intended audience is young adults, but it is perfect for adults wanting to learn more about Ludwig also.
