About this title

Synopsis

In December of 1936, King Edward VIII of Great Britain shocked the world by giving up his kingdom in order to marry a twice-divorced American commoner named Wallis Simpson. The King and Mrs. Simpson recounts, in a novella-sized work, the extraordinary love story between the popular king and the enigmatic woman that began at a party in England and culminated with the downfall of his reign nearly six years later.

…the approach treats them like a story out of a romance novel, choosing the avenue of creative nonfiction and using it well. -The Midwest Book Review

All the elements of scandal, intrigue, and social criticism, and demands of any monarchy are found in this highly readable book. -The Clinton Daily News

This is a must read for those who don't like to plow through the tomes of history, yet want to know the story. -The Lakeland Times
