Michael O'Mara Books Ltd The Queen : 1926–2022 22.39 GBP In this entertaining and insightful biography, award-winning writer Andrew Morton, author of Diana, Her True Story and Elizabeth & Margaret: The Intimate World of the Windsor Sisters, takes you behind the scenes to uncover the woman and her world. For years she prayed for her mother to give birth to a son.She longed to be spared her destiny as Britain’s future Queen.Her dream was to live in the country surrounded by children, dogs and horses. But Elizabeth did her duty, the young princess pledging before her people that she would dedicate her whole life to the service of Britain and the Commonwealth.She hoped that that day would be a long way off. It was not to be. Only twenty-five when she became Queen after the premature death of her father, King George Vl, Elizabeth became the stuff of superlatives: the longest reigning, most travelled and, for a shy woman, the Queen who shook more hands and made more small talk than any other monarch in history.She was seen and believed by millions, either in person, on television or film. Elizabeth was set firmly on the road to becoming sovereign because of the D word – divorce. In 1936, her uncle David, King Edward VIII, wanted to marry a twice-divorced American, Wallis Simpson.When he couldn’t, he abdicated. After that national trauma, divorce and the fall-out from divorce shaped her reign.She witnessed her sister Margaret, three of her children and several grandchildren divorce. And she lived long enough to see the wheel turn full circle, watching as another American divorcee, Meghan Markle, walked down the aisle with her grandson Prince Harry. While her reign was defined by divorce, her private life was moulded by an irascible husband, an extravagant mother and a querulous eldest son.In the winter of her reign she refereed a war between two of her grandsons, brothers William and Harry who were once inseparable friends.As the first monarch to reign for seventy years, she became, following a once in a lifetime pandemic, the reassuring face of hope and optimism, the grandmother to the nation.

Dan Snow_______________________________________________________________‘A journey that I don’t think could be made again today’.It was this comment by Sir David Attenborough on the fiftieth anniversary of the iconic First Overland expedition that became an irresistible challenge for filmmaker and adventurer Alex Bescoby. In 1955, Attenborough, then a young TV producer, was approached by six recent university graduates determined to drive the entire length of ‘Eurasia’, from London to Singapore.It was the unclimbed Everest of motoring – many had tried, none had succeeded.Sensing this time might be different, Attenborough gave the expedition enough film reel to cover their attempt.The 19,000-mile journey completed by Tim Slessor and the team captivated a nation emerging from postwar austerity.Tim’s book, The First Overland, soon became the bible of the overlanding religion.Inspired by the First Overland, Alex made contact with now eighty-six-year-old Tim and together they planned an epic recreation of the original trip, this time from Singapore to London.Their goal was to complete the legendary journey started more than sixty years ago in the original Land Rover.In awe of the unstoppable Tim, and haunted by his own grandfather’s declining health, Alex and his team soon find themselves battling rough roads, breakdowns and Oxford’s constantly leaky roof to discover a world changed for the better – and worse – since the first expedition.

Michael O'Mara Books Ltd Wise Words From King Charles Iii 14.1 GBP The very best of the King’s wisdom and humour, covering a huge range of topics that have been close to his heart.Lighthearted and revelatory, this is a wonderful celebration of royal wit and a fascinating glimpse into the life of our new monarch. Charles Philip Arthur George, Prince of Wales and heir apparent for more than seventy years, became King on 8 September 2022.On 6 May 2023, the world watched as he was crowned at Westminster Abbey in an historic ceremony full of ritual and pageantry. Wise Words From King Charles III looks at the personality behind the pomp.Though more guarded than his famously outspoken father, Charles is not averse to sparking controversy with his views on subjects close to his heart.During his years as king-in-waiting, there has been plenty of time for his interests and personality to develop.Passionate about the environment and natural world, he was a conservationist, speaking out about climate change before it became the norm to do so. ‘I don’t want my grandchildren or yours to come along and say to me, "Why the hell didn’t you do something; you knew what the problem was."’A skilled horticulturalist, he embraced his eccentric image and relished his reputation for talking to plants, ‘Only the other day I was inquiring of an entire bed of old-fashioned roses, forced to listen to my ramblings on the meaning of the universe as I sat cross-legged in the lotus position in front of them.’He is also a keen sportsman and music lover, interested in the arts and architecture.His views on modern buildings have prompted some of his most colourful comments.He called the proposed extension to the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square ‘a monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much-loved and elegant friend’ and compared London’s evolving skyline to ‘an absurdist picnic table’ ... ‘We already have a giant gherkin, now it looks as if we are going to have an enormous salt cellar.’If he hadn’t been destined to rule, he may have liked to be a comedian. ‘I love imitating and mimicking… I enjoy making people laugh if I can.’ He acknowledges, ‘So much of what one does requires acting ability in one way or another and it’s extremely useful if you enjoy it.’Taking on a new role at an age when most people would be retiring, King Charles brings a lifetime’s knowledge and experience to the job.This book focuses on the wisdom the monarch has acquired during his long apprenticeship, told through the wise – and sometimes not so wise – words of the man himself.
