MC's Reviews > Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret

“Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret” is one of the most unique, entertaining biographies I’ve ever read. Craig Brown writes 99 vignettes of Princess Margaret as told through diary entries, newspaper clippings, announcements, autobiographies, imagined scenarios and more.

Brown does a fantastic job presenting even the most salacious gossip and accounts of Princess Margaret with a healthy dose of humor but without seeming gratuitous or mean-spirited. The book is a fascinating portrait of a tragic, surly, anti-Princess who definitely marched to the beat of her own drum.
