Written with complete access to the Queen Mother's personal letters & diaries, William Shawcross' riveting biography is the truly definitive account of this remarkable woman, whose life spanned the twentieth century. Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes Lyon, the youngest daughter of the Earl of Strathmore, was born on 4 August 1900. Drawing on her private correspondence & other unpublished material from the Royal Archives, William Shawcross vividly reveals the witty girl who endeared herself to soldiers convalescing at Glamis in the First World War; the assured young Duchess of York; the Queen, at last feeling able to look the East End in the face at the height of the Blitz; the Queen Mother, representing the nation at home & abroad throughout her long widowhood. ' This splendid biography captures something of the warm glow that she brought to every event & encounter. It also reveals a deeper & more interesting character, forged by good sense, love of country, duty, humour & an instinct for what is right. This is a wonderful book, authoritative, frank & entertaining'

The ageing Catherine de' Medici has arranged the marriage of her beautiful Catholic daughter Margot to the uncouth Huguenot King Henry of Navarre. Margot, still desperately in love with Henry de Guise, refuses to utter her vows. But even Catherine is unable to anticipate the carnage that this unholy union is to bring about. In the midst of an August heatwave, tensions run high: the marriage hasn't brought peace between the Catholics & the Huguenoots. Realising her weakening power over her sickly son, King Charles, Catherine persuades him of a plot against his life. Mad with Fear, Charles agrees to a massacre that will rid France of its pestilential Huguenots for ever. & so the carnival of butchery begins, marking years of terror & upheaval that will end in the demise of kings, & finally expose Catherine's lifetime of depraved scheming. ...
