Items related to Queen Mary 1867-1953
Her award winning biography by James Pope-Hennessy tells the moving story of her relatively impoverished childhood, her very significant reign and her old age as the much admired Queen Dowager who had seen her fiancee, husband and three sons die, and another abdicate, before her own death in 1953.
Being an official biography it has all the advantages of access to private papers and people but without any of the restrictions. It is hugely readable, well informed and illuminating.

Book Description:
Princess May of Teck, engaged to one heir to the English throne and, following his premature death, married to another, lived a long, full and essentially dramatic life as Queen Mary, consort to George V.
About the Author:
James Pope-Hennessy was a writer of unusual range and beguilingly fluent style. He was born in 1916 and educated at Downside and Balliol College, Oxford. From 1947 to 1949 he was literary editor of The Spectator. By then, he had already decided that writing was his vocation, and for the rest of his life he earned his living by the pen. He died in 1974.
