Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 240 pages. A Times Best Book on the Royal Family of the Year 2022 This is a biography of the Queen Mother with all the dull bits stripped out. When told that Lad y Mountbatten was being buried at sea, the Queen Mother replied cheerfully. 'Dea r old Edwina, she always did like to make a splash!' During her lifetime, the Queen Mother was as famous for her clever quips, pointed observat ions and dry-as-a-Martini delivery style as she was for being a member of the Ro yal Family. She was also famed for her fondness for 'drinky-poos' - usually a gi n and Dubonnet or three. Now, Do Let's Have Another Drink recounts 101 biographi cal vignettes - one for each year of her long, remarkable life, including her co ming-of-age during World War I, the abdication of her brother-in-law, the truth about her tragic nieces and her relationship with her two daughters over half a century of widowhood. The book is a skimming-stone biography - the story of a life without the boring bits - and a travel guide to a world that no longer exists. Stepping into the Queen Mother's rarefied universe is a little like fal ling through the looking glass. The book rightly celebrates her sense of humour but also explores her enmities and feuds, including the truth about her behaviou r towards Wallis Simpson, Nerissa Bowes-Lyon and Diana, Princess of Wales. For fans of The Crown and featuring new revelations, never before published, a nd colourful anecdotes about the woman the high society photographer Cecil Beato n once described as 'a marshmallow made on a welding machine', Do Let's Have Ano ther Drink is a delightful celebration of one of the most consistently popular m embers of the Royal Family.…
