A queen who has loved and owned many corgi dogs
The longest-reigning monarch of the United Kingdom
How did a little girl who loved horses become the longest reigning monarch in England? Find out in this addition to the #1 New York Times best-selling Who Was? series!
In
1936, the life of ten-year-old Princess Elizabeth of York changed
forever. Although she was a member of the British Royal Family, she
never expected to become queen. But when her uncle Edward gave up the
throne, suddenly her father was the new king, which meant young
Elizabeth was next in line!
Queen Elizabeth reigned for seventy
years, and while there were palaces galore, the crown jewels, and trips
around the world, her life was one of strict discipline and duty.
This
riveting chronicle follows the life of a woman who was both a public
figure and an intensely private person and explores how she kept the
monarchy together through good times and bad.
