Book Description

May 16, 2002
From the author who has covered the tumult at Buckingham Palace for the last 25 years as BBC royal correspondent. Bond aims to paint a somewhat intimate portrait of the queen as a 'working mother' who respects her children's wishes and whims and would rather be out with her dogs and horses than doing almost anything else.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Two attractively illustrated volumes mark Queen Elizabeth's golden jubilee this year. Elizabeth: Fifty Glorious Years is by Jennie Bond, who has covered the tumult at Buckingham Palace for the last 25 years as BBC royal correspondent. In this decade-by-decade chronicle, Bond aims to paint a somewhat intimate portrait of the queen as a "working mother" who respects her children's wishes and whims (however much she may disapprove) and would rather be out with her dogs and horses than doing almost anything else. Close followers of the royals will probably not learn much that's new, but will enjoy the detailed trip down memory lane which reviews all the important scandals and state affairs and the many photos.

4.0 out of 5 stars --The photographs tell the story--, July 8, 2002

This review is from: Elizabeth (Hardcover)
After reading this, I did come away with a little more knowledge about Queen Elizabeth's life, but the best part of this book are the photographs. It was a nice surprise to see how attractive Queen Elizabeth was as a child and young woman. I had the impression that taking on the crown of England turned a pretty 25 year old woman into a matron much older than her years. I think that the pictures speak for themselves in how well they reveal the character and strength of the Queen. This is an enjoyable book, even if you're not an Anglophile.
