The official biography of Queen Mary, grandmother of the current Queen, originally commissioned in 1959 - with a new foreword by Hugo Vickers.

When Queen Mary died in 1953, James Pope-Hennessy was commissioned to write an official biography of her - unusual for a Queen Consort. Queen Mary's life, contrary to popular belief, was essentially dramatic, and she played a far more important and influential role in the affairs of the British monarchy than her public image might have otherwise suggested. Using material from the Royal Archives, private papers and Queen Mary's personal diaries and letters, Pope-Hennessy's biography was a remarkable portrait of a remarkable woman and received rave reviews across the press.

Long out of print, this new edition of Queen Mary will be accompanied by a new foreword from royal biographer and writer Hugo Vickers.

This is book I own and to hear it read was a joy, it was very well read although towards the end I couldn't help feeling there was chapters or parts missed out. None the less I enjoyed it.

I was uncertain if this was a book for me. I was prepared to return it after a few chapters and ended up enthralled.
A book which took you through years of history back into Victorian times, through WE1 and then WW2. Through four monarchs and some of the politics surrounding them.
The portrait of a queen but more than anything the portrait of a human being showing that like all of us even in the circles of royalty we all experience the fun, the pain, the pain and the joy of living.
Wonderfully written it showed just how special Victoria Mary of Teck was.
I suspect I will listen to this a few more times in the years to come.

Journey into a world gone by
