One of the many merits of Ben Pimlott's superbly judicious biography of Elizabeth II is that it understands this connection between monarchy and masses, and carefully evokes its political importance. -The New York Times Book Review "A level-headed study . . . helps us appreciate the capacities as well as the limitations of a woman who, whatever else happens, just keeps on going on" -People "There will be no better biography of Elizabeth II as a figure of state until her official one appears-and perhaps not even then . . . . Pimlott has succeeded triumphantly. He has written a book that can be enjoyed and admired by people who would never have imagined reading any previous royal biography" -The Independent (London) "An important and stimulating book" -Antonia Fraser, author of Mary, Queen of Scots in The Guardian (London) "The best all-around study of the Queen so far, showing understanding as well as amused irony" -The Sunday Telegraph (London) "There will not be a better royal biography for many years" -The Daily Telegraph (London)
