Fully revised and updated. Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-serving monarch in British history, with a reign even longer than Queen Victoria. Her extraordinary life is expertly portrayed by Jennie Bond, former BBC royal correspondent, in this magnificent visually led biography.

Lisää dramatiikkaa nuoren Elisabetin elämään tuo yllättävä suhde Kreikan komeaan mutta rutiköyhään prinssi Philipiin, jonka ilmestymistä nuoren prinsessan elämään hovi ei katso hyvällä.Kun Elisabetin isän terveys romahtaa toisen maailmansodan jälkimainingeissa, joutuu prinsessa kansakuntansa valokeilassa miettimään uudelleen paikkaansa maailmassa ja tulemaan siksi hallitsijaksi, joksi kohtalo on häntä ohjannut.

A richly illustrated rediscovery of Elizabeth Catlett: printmaker, sculptor and tireless advocate for human rights Born in Washington, DC, Elizabeth Catlett (1915-2012) moved to Mexico in 1946. Still, her artwork always remained attuned to the Black American experience.
