The Sunday Times bestseller THE STORY OF BRITAIN during the long
reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Find out how Britain changed in this
entrancing, lively portrait of Britain's Elizabethan Age by
bestselling writer and broadcaster Andrew Marr Britain changed
fundamentally during the Queen's long, distinguished reign. So who
made modern Britain the country it is today? How do we sum up the
kind of people we are? What did it mean to be the new Elizabethans?
In this wonderfully told history, spanning back to when Queen
Elizabeth became queen in 1953, Andrew Marr traces the people who
have made Britain the country it is today. From the activists to
the artists, the sports heroes to the innovators, these people
pushed us forward, changed the conversation, encouraged us to eat
better, to sing, think and to protest. They got things done. How
will our generation be remembered in a hundred years' time? And
when you look back at Britain's toughest moments in the past
seventy years, what do you learn about its people and its values?
In brilliantly entertaining style and with unexpected insights into
some of our sung and unsung heroes, this is our story as
Elizabethans - the story of how 1950s Britain evolved into the
diverse country we live in today. In short, it is the history of
modern Britain. FEATURING: David Attenborough. Marcus Rashford. Jan
Morris. Diana Dors. Bob Geldof. David Olusoga. Elizabeth David.
Zaha Hadid. Frank Crichlow. Quentin Crisp. Dusty Springfield.
Captain Tom - and many others.
