ELIZABETH R A Biography

Hardback. Thirty years after the Coronation, the author felt the time was ripe for a major reappraisal of the Queen, her life and reign. In this sensitive study, full of anecdote and much 'new' information, the author presents a fresh and coherent portrait of the Queen by describing the development of her character and the evolution of her style of monarchy. Through interviews with a great many of those who served her or known her - both past and present - a picture emerges of Elizabeth II as wife and mother, as countrywoman and horse-breeder, and above all as queen regnant.
