A Queen for All Seasons - A Celebration of Queen Elizabeth II

''Lovely... delivers the warmest of glows'' - Telegraph ''Who wouldn''t love this chocolate-box delight of insights and snapshots of The Queen...A treasure chest'' - Good Housekeeping In 2022 Queen Elizabeth II celebrated seventy years as Queen and Head of the Commonwealth. She was Britain''s longest reigning monarch and the very first to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee. A Queen for All Seasons is a perceptive, touching and engaging tribute to this unique woman: a treasure chest of first-hand writings, insights and snapshots of The Queen during key moments of her reign. Joanna Lumley guides us as we meet Princess Elizabeth in 1952, aged just twenty-five, and about to become Queen, and brings us through to the twenty-first century when, in the role of matriarch, The Queen kept the national ship steady through seven decades, including in moments of crisis and suffering. Together this forms a vibrant portrait of the woman herself and the extraordinary role she played.
