Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes Lyon, the youngest daughter of the Earl of Strathmore, was born on 4 August, 1900. Few could have imagined the profound effect she would have on Britain and its people. This official biography tells not only her story but, through it, that of the country she loved so devotedly. Bertrams Buyer's Notes: Written with complete access to the Queen Mother's personal letters and diaries, and other unpublished material from the Royal Archives, this is the authorised and definitive biography of this most enduringly popular Royal figure, whose extraordinary life spanned the 20th century. Beautifully and extensively illustrated, this is surely one of the biggest biographies of the autumn, the perfect gift for royal fans and indeed anyone interested in Britain in the last century.
