The acclaimed Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert
accounts of England's rulers - now in paperback Like his mother
Queen Victoria, Edward VII defined an era. Both reflected the
personalities of their central figures: hers grand, imperial and
pretty stiff; his no less grand, but much more relaxed and
enjoyable. This book conveys Edward's distinct personality and
significant influences. To the despair of his parents, he rebelled
as a young man, conducting many affairs and living a life of
pleasure. But as king he made a distinct contribution to European
diplomacy and - which is little known - to London, laying out the
Mall and Admiralty Arch. Richard Davenport-Hines's book is as
enjoyable as its subject and the age he made.
