ISBN: 9780374185220.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilliam Shawcrosss official biography of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, published in September 2009, was a huge critical and commercial success.One of the great revelations of the book was Queen Elizabeths insightful, witty private correspondence. Indeed, The Sunday Times described her letters as \"wonderful . . . brimful of liveliness and irreverence, steeliness and sweetness.\"\n\nNow, in Counting Ones Blessings, Shawcross has put together a selection of her letters, drawing on the vast wealth of material in the Royal Archives and at Glamis Castle. Queen Elizabeth was a prolific correspondent, from her early childhood before World War I to the very end of her long life at the beginning of the twenty-first century, and her letters offer readers a vivid insight into the real person behind the public face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118027104309,"sku":"ByrdShop_0374185220","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780374185220_cf19ef03-4366-4445-b147-5c617295178e.jpg?v=1778724219","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/counting-ones-blessings-the-selected-letters-of-queen-elizabeth-the-queen-mother-9780374185220","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
