Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. " A revealing selection of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mothers letters, edited by her official biographer William Shawcrosss official biography of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, published in September 2009, was a huge critical and commercial success. One of the great revelations of the book was Queen Elizabeths insightful, witty private correspondence. Indeed, The Sunday Times described her letters as wonderful . . . brimful of liveliness and irreverence, steeliness and sweetness. Now, in Counting Ones Blessings, Shawcross has put together a selection of her letters, drawing on the vast wealth of material in the Royal Archives and at Glamis Castle. Queen Elizabeth was a prolific correspondent from her earliest childhood before World War I to the very end of her long life at the beginning of the twenty-first century, and her letters offer readers vivid insight into the real person behind the public face.
