Written with complete access to the Queen Mother's personal letters
and diaries, William Shawcross's riveting biography is the truly
definitive account of this remarkable woman, whose life spanned the
twentieth century. Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes Lyon, the
youngest daughter of the Earl of Strathmore, was born on 4 August
1900. Drawing on her private correspondence and other unpublished
material from the Royal Archives, William Shawcross vividly reveals
the witty girl who endeared herself to soldiers convalescing at
Glamis in the First World War; the assured young Duchess of York;
the Queen, at last feeling able to look the East End in the face at
the height of the Blitz; the Queen Mother, representing the nation
at home and abroad throughout her long widowhood. 'This splendid
biograpy captures something of the warm glow that she brought to
every event and encounter. It also reveals a deeper and more
interesting character, forged by good sense, love of country, duty,
humour and an instinct for what is right. This is a wonderful book,
authoritative, frank and entertaining' "Daily Telegraph"
