Henry IV Part I & II (Wars of the Roses #1 & #2) by William Shakespeare

The better part of colour is discretion.

King Henry IV's son, Prince Harry is quick-witted yet idle and irresponsible and lives a roguish existence keeping dubious company. However, when the kingdom is threatened Prince Harry shows his true worth and heroism and begins a journey of transformation from layabout to nobel leader. Mixing comedy and history with bawdy scenes of taverns and regal scenes of kings and battles, Shakespeare shows the heavy burden of Royal power and explores the well-known historical events and characters of the time.
