Books like The Queen by A. N. Wilson

Name: The Queen
Author: A. N. Wilson

Focusing on Queen, Elizabeth II, as she turns 90, this examination of the life and times of Britain's most iconic living figure, considers the history of the monarchy, drawing a line between Victoria, the murder of the Romanovs, and the bloody history of Europe in the twentieth century, examining how and why the Royal Family has survived. He paints a vivid portrait of 'Lilibet' the woman, and of her reign, throughout which she has remained stalwart, unmoving, a trait some regard as dullness, but which Wilson argues is the key to her survival.
