Queen's House

ebook

A "lively" tour of the royal residence: Readers "will delight in this well-written chronicle of the House of Windsor." —Publishers Weekly

In this social history of Buckingham Palace, Edna Healey mines the royal archives to take the reader into its moonlit gardens, up the grand staircase, and inside its tapestried walls. Dr. Johnson again holds forth in the library, Queen Victoria encores Mendelssohn in the music room, and Fanny Burney wrestles once more with protocol in the royal chambers.

Written with the assistance of the royal family, this lively and colorful biography of a house reveals not only the changing facade of the palace but also the changing face of a nation's culture, morals, fashions, and tastes.
