{"product_id":"q-a-voyage-around-the-queen","title":"Q: A Voyage Around the Queen","description":"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.\n\nShe 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.\n\nHer 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.\n\nUp 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0374610924\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0374610924.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Brown, Craig\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\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: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
