Virginia Woolf compared her to a caterpillar; Anne Frank kept pictures
of her on the wall of her annex; Jimi Hendrix played her tune; Haile
Selassie gave her a gold tiara; Dirk Bogarde watched Death in Venice
with her; Andy Warhol envied her fame; Donald Trump offended her; E.M.
Forster confessed he would have married her, if only she had been a boy.
Queen Elizabeth II was famous for longer than anyone who has ever
lived. When people spoke of her, they spoke of themselves; when they
dreamed of her, they dreamed of themselves. She mirrored their hopes
and anxieties. To the optimist, she seemed an optimist; to the
pessimist, a pessimist; to the awestruck, charismatic; and to the
cynical, humdrum. Though by nature reserved and unassuming, her
presence could fill presidents and rock gods with terror. For close to
a century, she inhabited the psyche of a nation.
Combining biography, essays, cultural history, dream diaries,
travelogue and satire, the bestselling and award-winning author of
Ma'am Darling and One Two Three Four: The Beatles in Time presents a
kaleidoscopic portrait of this most public yet private of sovereigns.
