Reviews
"Q is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth unlike any other . . . absorbing, edifying and frequently laugh-out-loud funny." --Clare McHugh, The Washington Post "An engrossing, comprehensive and gloriously bizarre portrait of the late monarch." --John Banville, The Guardian "An entertaining and revealing digest...fascinating... Craig Brown has captured something essential about Britain's curious relationship with royalty." --Miranda France, TLS
Synopsis
With equal measures of wit and wisdom, the author of 99 Glimpses of Princess Margaret draws a deeply original, hilarious, and telling portrait of the Queen herself. She was the most famous person on earth; she first appeared on the cover of Time magazine at the age of three. When she died, few people were old enough to recall a time when she was not alive. Her likeness has been reproduced--in photographs, on stamps, on the notes and coins of thirty different currencies--more than any since Jesus. It is probable that, over the course of her ninety-six years, she was introduced to a greater number of different people than anyone else who has ever lived--likely well over half a million. Yet this most closely observed of all women rarely left any real impression on those she encountered beyond vague notions of her "radiance" and "sense of duty." A high proportion of those she met can remember what they said to her, but not a word of what she said to them. Up until now, the curious tactic employed by biographers of the Queen has been to ignore what is interesting and to concentrate on what is not. Craig Brown, the author of 150 Glimpses of the Beatles and Hello Goodbye Hello , rejects this formula, bringing his kaleidoscopic approach to the most famous--and most guarded-- woman on earth, examining the Queen through a succession of interlocking prisms. With Q , this fantastically funny, marvelously insightful journalist gives us an unforgettable portrait of the omnipresent, elusive Queen Elizabeth II.

- _***a (24)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufItem was shipped quickly, and was securely packaged. Items was in at least as good a condition as described; it may actually be in better condition than described, as the book looks almost new and unread. Given the great condition of the book, the price was an exceptional value. Furthermore, I made contact with the seller with a query; and, they got back to me very quickly, and were able to answer all my questions. Overall, a great transaction. I would buy from this seller again. Thanks!
- l***i (231)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe book arrived as described and as pictured. It shipped quickly, but was shipped in only a plastic bag mailer, so not much protection. I will also forewarn, the seller does not answer questions about the specific condition of a book. I know because I asked if two different books had any writing in the margins and received the same pre-generated response both times declining to answer. Despite this, I would still recommend this seller if you are willing to shoulder that risk buying used books
- i**** (3654)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufQuick ship and excellent communication. As described in listing. Hardback book a good value for the money. It was packaged in a very thin plastic covering with no padding. The book was fine and not damaged. Delivered on time. I ordered from this seller over the last couple of years. I like to read Beatrice Small's books. A+
