Review by: Mandy Apgar
This I liked. It was a souvenir sort of book - so there were
plenty of photographs and the text was uncomplicated and didn't get
political / blame sides, etc. as bios of her ilk can get - but it did
mention a few up her downs as well as the ups. Things were more evenly
covered and her entire family was given a pretty wide amount of credit
for helping her, including Prince Philip, who many whom have lived in
the UK (myself included) think deserve a lot more than the "Prince
Consort" short shift he often gets, and the recent uptake in duties of
her grandchildren Harry and William as well. A nice, fairly even overall
compendium. Doesn't get too gritty - but who really publishes stories
about labor riots and the like in a book meant to be a little fawning -
but still serves as a good starting point.
