Young Elizabeth : the making of the queen / Kate Williams.

Williams, Kate, 1974- (Author).

Summary:

Kate Williams reveals how the 25-year-old young queen carved out a lasting role for herself amid the changes of the 20th century. Her monarchy would be a very different one to that of her parents and grandparents, and its continuing popularity in the 21st century owes much to the intelligence and elusive personality of this remarkable woman.
