{"product_id":"edward-vii-penguin-monarchs","title":"Edward VII (Penguin Monarchs)","description":"The acclaimed Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert accounts of England's rulers - now in paperback\n\nLike his mother Queen Victoria, Edward VII defined an era. Both reflected the personalities of their central figures: hers grand, imperial and pretty stiff; his no less grand, but much more relaxed and enjoyable. This book conveys Edward's distinct personality and significant influences. To the despair of his parents, he rebelled as a young man, conducting many affairs and living a life of pleasure. But as king he made a distinct contribution to European diplomacy and - which is little known - to London, laying out the Mall and Admiralty Arch.\nRichard Davenport-Hines's book is as enjoyable as its subject and the age he made.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0141988711\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0141988711.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Davenport-Hines, Richard\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
