Description

The official biography of Queen Mary, grandmother of the late Queen Elizabeth II, originally commissioned in 1959 - with a new foreword by Sunday Times bestselling royal biographer Hugo Vickers.

When Queen Mary died in 1953, James Pope-Hennessy was commissioned to write an official biography of her - unusual for a Queen Consort. Queen Mary's life, contrary to popular belief, was essentially dramatic, and she played a far more important and influential role in the affairs of the British monarchy than her public image might have otherwise suggested. Using material from the Royal Archives, private papers and Queen Mary's personal diaries and letters, Pope-Hennessy's biography was a remarkable portrait of a remarkable woman and received rave reviews across the press.

Long out of print, this new edition of the biography illuminates the Queen Mary, and a long-lost era, as never before.
