Synopsis

The Little Princesses is crowded with wonderful stories about fascinating people: …the future Queen of England, as she matures from the young Lilibet, who delighted in “Li’l Abner” and “Mutt and Jeff" to the grownup Elizabeth, whose favorite tune, while she was being courted by Philip, was "People Will Say We're in Love". …Margaret, who remarked, when Crawfie told her she would be the next bride, "Don't be silly. You know quite well Papa and Mummie need me to keep them in order. What would they do without me!" …handsome golden-headed Uncle David, who came unexpectedly-to tea one afternoon at the Royal Lodge, binging Mrs. Simpson with him …the Princesses' father, the new King, sitting solemnly at his desk, painstakingly practicing his new signature …Queen Elizabeth, who commented, after the long and tiring coronation ceremony, "We aren't supposed to be human" …old King George, who told the new governess that none of his children could write properly and, for goodness' sake, teach Margaret and Lilibet to write a decent hand …Queen Mary’s request for any handkerchiefs that could spared from the hundreds which arrived as wedding gifts for Elizabeth -to be donated to bazaars …Prime Minister Chamberlain, who momentarily defeated Crawfie in her efforts to cure the Princesses of biting their nails …the birth of the young Prince, who gave Margaret her proudest title: "Charley's Aunt"
