The King's Grace 1910-1935

Book excerpt: This book contains a fascinating treatise on the English King, Edward VII. It is not intended as a biography, but is instead an attempt to provide a picture - and some slight interpretation - of his reign. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in Edward VII and English kingship in general, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. The chapters of this book include: "The Pageant of Succession", "An Uneasy Heritage", "The Restless Years", "Descensus Averni", "Contact", "The Fortress", "The Sallies", "Surrender", "Sour-Apple Harvest", "The Changing Empire", and "A House in Order". This book was first published in 1935, and is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
