Born when the twentieth century was barely eight months old and Queen Victoria was still on the throne, the Queen Mother married into the Royal Family in 1923; she has been an inspiration as a national figure and earned a depth of affection unsurpassed in British history.
Illustrated with masses of colour and black and white photographs covering her whole life and the nation s grief at her death the book is a warm tribute to the woman who as Duchess, Queen Consort, and Queen Mum wielded a charismatic influence for so many decades.Valerie Garner was a court correspondent for many years and had the opportunity to observe the Queen Mother at first hand. She has brought the book completely up to date following the Queen Mother s death.
