Enlightening and absorbing, this dispassionate look at Elizabeth and her court is highly recommended; a nuanced study to be savored alongside Andrew Marr's The Real Elizabeth.

Elizabeth the Queen
The results are as informative as they are entertaining. Comparable to Ben Pimlott's excellent The Queen: A Biography of Elizabeth II (1998), but with information on nearly 15 more years, this will appeal to readers of biographies, British history, and all followers of the British royal family. The Queen's 2012 Diamond Jubilee should increase demand. With impressive source notes and bibliography. [See Prepub Alert, 7/18/11.]—Elizabeth Mellett, Brookline P.L., MA
