Reviews

[Frederic]

This is a "concise" edition -- that is to say, edited -- of the author's The Queen's Jewels. The photos are nice, but what really makes this an exceptionally interesting book is the stories of the histories of the jewels and their different uses through history.

[Carol]

What fun to see the Queen's baubles "up close" and the stories behind the pieces.

[Trudy Dowling]

This is the closest I will every get to seeing the Queen's jewels. Gorgeous, simply gorgeous.
