By Peter Durward Harris HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on September 14, 2013
Format: Hardcover
I chose this book primarily for the early chapters, but I found the whole book fascinating. Very little is said about events since Elizabeth II's accession to the throne, but plenty is available elsewhere about her reign. However, there is a striking family picture of her as a child, probably from the late thirties, with her parents, sister and their dogs. This picture has since appeared on the cover of Pets by Royal Appointment: The Royal Family and their Animals.

The book begins with the earliest known queens to rule over, or at least be wives to kings who ruled over, at least part of what became England. They include Boudicca (or Boadicea), who lived almost 2,000 years ago. There is a limited knowledge about her and other very early queens, so the book really begins around 1,300 years ago with the early Anglo-Saxon queens.

There are some very strange stories along the way, notably Isabella of Valois (married and widowed as a child) and Catherine of Burgundy (cousin and wife of King George IV; they took an instant dislike to each other but nevertheless produced a child, who died before either parent), as well as the more famous strange stories of the Tudors and others.

At the end are some genealogical tables, a bibliography and index. The genealogy tables, as ever in a book, are inadequate for those who are seriously interested in the subject, although adequate for other readers. For serious genealogists, I recommend looking around the net.

Ms. Norton definitely went all out on this book with the research. What a great job she did. Seriously, there is everything that you need to know about every queen that England has seen (even those who technically were not queen, but were married to the men who became or had been king, like Maria Fitzherbert and Wallis Simpson). The way it is structured makes it an easy read as well. I read it on and off all summer long, feeling free to read about a queen or two here and there.

This is the first book I read from Norton, but it definitely will not be the last. Her style and knowledge on her subjects makes her a delightful author I will always look forward to.

This book is very well written and gives a great overview of each woman who has ever had the title of Queen in England, both consort and regnant. Due to the large number of persons involved, the biographies are not extensive, but all vital details are included. The illustrations are beautiful and there are plenty of them. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to any of my fellow royalty buffs!
