This volume offers invaluable new insights into the controversial lives and history of Prince and Princess Chichibu - two high-profile members of the Japanese imperial family, both before and after the Pacific War. Their lives were lived both above and below 'the clouds', with the princess a commoner in an arranged marriage and the popular 'sporting prince', dogged by ill health and his association with the Japanese Imperial Army. At the heart of the book is a complete translation of Princess Chichibu's original autobiography, first published in a shorter, condensed version in 1996 under the title The Silver Drum, together with a short biography of Prince Chichibu supported by important new data on his role in the war years, thanks to recent access to new studies as well as the prince's own writings. Also included for the first time is a translation of most of Princess Chichibu's collection of poems which formed part of the original memoir.

Description Howard Hodgson's biography of Princess Diana and Prince Charles is a refreshing approach to the urban myth of two of the most well known and revered public figures of the late twentieth and early twenty first century. Hodgson reveals how Prince Charles cared for Diana in her time of need and how family members support the suffering of their lovedvones. Hodgson writes with sensitivity, honesty and pathos. He shows how Prince Charles and his family are loving people that have sometimes beenvmisrepresentedvbyvthevworld'svmedia. Few of us can imagine the mental pressure that results in being destined to be King. Prince Charles is a heroic figure that cares about the world andvactsvinvpeople'svbestvinterests. Hodgson explores the mental frailty of Princess Diana and his view of her having Borderline Personality Disorder. Chipmunka Publishing supports Howard's book as we realise that many public figures have mental health issues and caring issues to deal with. Princess Diana as sufferer and Prince Charles as carer are no exception. About the author Howard Hodgson was born in Birmingham in 1950. Educated at private school in Switzerland and then Birmingham College, he joined the struggling family funeral directors and turned its fortunes around, to be named Entrepreneur of the Year 1987 by his peers. After the hugely successful flotation of the business, Howard retired to concentrate on writing and broadcasting, with a number of bestselling books, business documentaries, and having his freelance journalism published in various newspapers, including the Guardian and the Daily Mail. He has also worked as a motivational and after-dinner speaker. Howard met the Prince of Wales through voluntary work for the Prince's Trust, talking at length with him and other members of the Royal Family and the household.

An engrossing biography of Queen Victoria's youngest daughter that focuses on her relationship with her willful mother--a powerful and insightful look at two women of significant importance and influence in world history Beatrice was the last child born to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Her father died when she was four and Victoria came to depend on her youngest daughter absolutely, and also demanded from her complete submission. Beatrice succumbed to her mother's obsessive love, so that by the time she was in her late teens she was her constant companion. Although Victoria tried to prevent Beatrice from even so much as thinking of love, her guard slipped when Beatrice met Prince Henry of Battenberg. Sadly, Beatrice inherited the hemophilia gene from her mother, which she passed on to two of her four sons and which her daughter Victoria Eugenia, in marrying Alfonso XIII of Spain, in turn passed on to the Spanish royal family. This new examination will restore her to her proper prominence--as Queen Victoria's second consort.

Fueled by scandal and intrigue, their relationship set the explosive connection between public and private life in sixteenth-century England in bold relief. Why did they never marry?

It is the tragedy of Queen Mary that today, 450 years after her death, she remains the most hated, least understood monarch in English history--remembered best for burning hundreds of Protestant heretics at the stake. Linda Porter's pioneering new biography cuts through the myths to reveal the truth about the first queen to rule England in her own right. Daughter of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon, Mary Tudor was a cultured Renaissance princess who was brought to the throne by an audacious coup. She made a grand marriage to Philip of Spain, but her attempts to revitalize England at home and abroad were cut short by her early death at the age of forty-two. The first popular biography of Mary in thirty years, "The Myth of "Bloody Mary"" offers a fascinating, controversial look at this much-maligned queen.
