- catalog abstract "Born on August 4, 1900, the future Queen Mother came in with the century, and part of her attraction was to carry through her life the grand and self-assured style of the Edwardian era in which she was raised. Describes Elizabeth's background and development, relating how she made a marriage that brought her to the centre stage of public life. Traces her tender support of her shy husband, a reluctant king, shows how she began her Commonwealth role, and recalls her shock at the sudden and unexpected call to wear the Crown. Faced with the never-ending duties of a queen, Elizabeth proved capable of providing inspired leadership for a society faced with the stark prospect of destruction in a war to save the world. On the premature death of her beloved husband she became Queen Elizabeth. Her Majesty's successes and failures, both public and private, are analyzed against the background of a century of violent disruption, material achievement, and incredible change.".
