“An excellent, all-embracing new biography.”—The New York Times
“[An] imposing, yet nimbly written, biography [that] dwarfs the
field . . . a most satisfying and enjoyable read, one to be savored
at length.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune

charm. Yet in biographer Sally Bedell Smith’s Elizabeth the Queen,
Her Majesty sparkles with both.”—More
“Smith breaks new ground, [with the cooperation of] more than two
hundred people, [including] the Queen’s relatives and friends. . .
. [A] smart and satisfying book.”—Los Angeles Times

been chronicled in numerous books, but perhaps never with such
intimacy.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch
