If you collect books on British Royalty, this book is a must-have. Not only does it record the life of a lady who personifies dignaty and duty, but it's sections are divided into sections of interest rather than a boring chronology. However, I bought it for two reasons: 1) I don't have books on the Queen and this is a great collection of her history 2) I LOVE Tim Graham's photography! I have collected many of his books on the royal family, particularly his photographs of Diana. The trust the royal family has given him shows in his work. The photos are real, but they're not "fake" or demeaning. Even non-royalty fans should own this book as a piece of history.

This book was given as a gift for Christmas. The recipient was very grateful. The pictures are beautiful. He began thumbing through it immediately and was willing to skip lunch at the senior home to continue gushing over how pleased he was with the gift. I'm sure it is a book he will treasure and look through repeatedly. He enjoyed the text, but the pictures of the Queeen's life is what he most enjoys. He IS quite a fan. Also, the book was delivered as promised even though we were having some terrible weather in the North East. Amazon came through nicely. Thank you!
