Our Library’s Book Spotlight for this week is “The Queen’s Speech: an intimate portrait of the Queen in her own words“, written by Ingrid Seward, a respected writer on the British royal family.
Ingrid Seward draws on the Queen’s speeches as a starting point to provide an edifying insight into the character of the woman who has served as the longest-reigning monarch in British history. Starting with her first ever broadcast, in December 1940, when the teenaged Princess Elizabeth addressed a wartorn nation, right through the ‘annus horribilis’, and on into the 21st century, the book chronicles the most important moments in her life and how she has responded to them.
