Queen Elizabeth II
Trade Paperback
A personal history
Queen Elizabeth II occupies a unique place in the British imagination. Elegant, self-contained, enigmatic: her respect for the role thrust upon her was evident even in childhood. For over seventy years, she shepherded her country through war, political upheaval and family tragedy, guarding her personal opinions and feelings and appearing implacable and yet resolutely empathetic.
In this major new portrait, renowned biographer Hugo Vickers uses never-before-seen sources and personal recollections to illuminate her life as never before. From her childhood growing up in the shadow of the Blitz to her many years as the figurehead for our country: this is a royal history like no other, published to coincide with what would have been her centenary.Buy now!
