'The Queen Mother kept her private thoughts to herself...But all that will change with the publication next month of William Shawcross's official biography.' --Mail on Sunday
'This splendid biography captures something of the warm glow that she brought to every event and encounter. It also reveals a deeper and more interesting character, forged by good sense, love of country, duty, humour and an instinct for what is right. This is a wonderful book, authoritative, frank and entertaining. It sets new standards for royal biography.' --Daily Telegraph
'This is a superb biography. Another need never be written...a monumental masterwork of royal biography.' --Country Life
'This was eagerly awaited and is essential reading for royal-watchers.' --Lady
'captures the vivid open personality of ''one of the most amazing queens since Cleopatra.''' --The Telegraph, Christmas Books
'Shawcross is an author of outstanding talent. He is lucid, accurate and well-infirmed. His endnotes are impeccable and reflect wide-ranging original research... in many respects his book is a model of scholarship.' --Oldie
'Thoroughly researched and well written... Shawcross' contribution is invaluable both for what it reveals and for the discussion it has provoked about what has been left unsaid.' --Royalty
'Shawcross gives a rich, authoritative and valuable account of the twentieth century monarchy and his book will be quoted by historians for years to come.' --TLS
'Magisterial... important... will be a major source for future historians of the twentieth century.' --Contemporary Review
'...it is in the light of the times that shaped her that the Queen Mother must be judged. Her official biography might also be judged by how well its author resists the temptation to apply today's zeitgeist to the life of a person who was born a Victorian. . . she was, in the words of her official biographer, "of the last generation of aristocrats who felt able to accept their superior social position with no feeling of guilt but rather a sense of duty and obligation".Shawcross perfectly captures these virtues, and more, in his fascinating study of a remarkable woman.' --Sunday Independent
'The book on my bedside table is Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother . . . it's very, very interesting' --Martin Brudnizki, Financial Times magazine
'Long-awaited...the book will be the most comprehensive account of her life.'
