A woman most at home among her horses and dogs. And a woman long annealed to heartbreak and sorrow, who has presided over the decline of Great Britain and the decline in prestige of her own Windsor dynasty. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFar from being a light, gossipy treatment of a celebrity, \u003ci\u003eLilibet \u003c\/i\u003etells the queen's story from her point of view, letting the reader relive Elizabeth's long and eventful life with all its splendid ceremonies, momentous responsibilities and family clashes. Through it all we glimpse, as never before, the strong and appealing sovereign who has ruled over her people for half a century and more, a ruler of immense wealth, international esteem and high character whose daily life is grounded in the bedrock of common sense.\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn \u003ci\u003eAlexandra\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Gifted...breathless...heartbreaking...Erickson excels.\" \u003cbr\u003e- \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Entertaining...this accomplished historical biographer tells it with style and suspense.\" \u003cbr\u003e- \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn \u003ci\u003eAlexandra\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGifted...breathless...heartbreaking...Erickson excels. \u003cbr\u003e- \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEntertaining...this accomplished historical biographer tells it with style and suspense. \u003cbr\u003e- \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistinguished historian \u003cb\u003eCarolly Erickson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eRival to the Queen\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Memoirs of Mary Queen of Scots\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe First Elizabeth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Hidden Life of Josephine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Wife of Henry VIII, \u003c\/i\u003e and many other prize-winning works of fiction and nonfiction.
