A beautifully illustrated celebration of a remarkable life. This handsome tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother - consort to George Vl, mother to Elizabeth II and an indomitable figure in her own right - comes with the backing of Britain's bestselling newspaper, The Daily Telegraph. Stunning photographs celebrate the Queen Mother's life year by year through a century of dynamic change while the text, by one of the Telegraph's leading writers, is authoritative and readable.
