About the Item
Elizabeth, the Queen Mother : A Twentieth Century Life by Grania Forbes.
Elizabeth, the Queen Mother is a celebration of the life of the nation''s most treasured Royal, providing a fascinating look at the events of the 20th century, as well as an endearing portrait of the Queen Mother herself. Through a series of deft and witty captions accompanying the splendid photos, the story of Her Majesty's private and public life unfolds into an original, memorable and exquisitely-produced portrait of the 20th century's most charming survivor.
Elizabeth the Queen Mother, the most beloved British monarch of the twentieth century.
Consort of King George VI, mother of Queen Elizabeth II, and grandmother of Prince Charles, Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon—the ninth of the Earl of Strathmore’s ten children—was born on August 4, 1900, and, certainly, no one could have imagined that her long life (she died in 2002) would come to reflect a changing nation over the course of an entire century.
this is a wonderful book full of the most interesting photos from one of the most celebrated royals of the 20th century. She married the 2nd son of the King of England, King George V and was never intended - or even wanted the limelight or duties of being Queen of the Realm. History and her place in it changed dramatically with the abdication of Edward VIII to marry Wallis Simpson. The book covers the life of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the Queen Mother, the birth of her daughters, Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, their marriages and families and the birth of Prince William. It's a really enjoyable read, filled with history and photographs. She rose to the occasion and has become one of the most beloved royals of all time. Read, research, discover - it's a great book and it will certainly be a treasure to its new owner. This is a beautiful large library or hardcover coffee table book.

Located in North Yorkshire, GB
by Jennifer Hawkins Opis
This is a comprehensive catalogue of the Scandinavian Ceramics and Glass collection at the V&A, showing comparative material from all four Scandinavian countries. The history of the many ceramics and glass factories, their artists and designers is outlined against a changing social and political background. Scandinavian design, from the 1950s to the 1970s, was a by-word for modernism. Scandinavian style was the style to which all other designers aspired during that time and the Nordic designers were awarded all the major prizes. Earlier, during the 1920s and 1930s Scandinavian designers were establishing influential design concepts, and ceramics and glass production attracted many of the key artists.
