In honor of the Queen Mother's one hundredth birthday, this detailed, illustrated chronology documents the story of her life, combining more than 350 photographs, including works by royal photographer Norman Parkinson, with newspaper-style articles and captions to recount all the major events in the lives of the royal family over the past one hundred years.
I’ve always admired the Queen Mother (even though she and Diana didn’t seem to get along) - when I was little, I thought her royal duties were to be a grandmother to everyone (LOL!), but she always had a feminine, quiet strength about her, and I know she was a huge figure in British Royalty for generations. Wow! What a long, fruitful life! I loved all of the colorful photography!
An amazing Chronicle of the twentieth Century. You Elizabeth, born in a most haunted castle of Glamis in Scotland grows up a beauty, and captures the heart of a prince. After many times, he wins her over and they begin a happy life. It is not to endure with the abdication of her brother-in-law. Becoming the Queen, Elizabeth helps her husband to lead Britain through her darkest days.
