Résumé

'Enchanting, often moving and sometimes hilarious' - Daily MailFull of wit, hilarity, acute observation and a deeply held sense of duty, the Queen Mother's letters give readers a vivid insight into the person behind the public face. Edited by WIlliam Shawcross, Elizabeth: Counting One's Blessings Part 1 reveals, in the Queen Mother's own words, the much-loved little girl writing teasing letters to her many siblings and friends; here, too, is the young woman who, after a long courtship and two refusals, accepted the Duke of York's proposal.'The warm personality and humour of the late, much-loved Queen Mother shines through in her letters, as does her affection for all, whether below or above stairs' - Scotsman'Recaptures her effervescent charm, and the simple fact that she was a good egg' - Spectator'How one warms to her!' - Evening Standard
