  A wonderful parallel chronicle of the Queen Mother's life and the important events she lived through.The Illustrated London News, the oldest illustrated magazine of social and historical record, is better placed than anyone to reflect not just on the Queen Mother's remarkable and long life but on the tumultuous times she lived through. They have been researching and developing this book for nearly thirty years, putting together a specially commissioned text with exclusive photographs from their archives. Chapters on the Queen Mother's life are interspersed with a photographic record of the century, from the first flight of the Zeppelin to splitting the atom, from the Hillary/Tensing conquest of Everest to the Kennedy assassination and September 11. Coming completely up-to-date with photographs of this and next week's ceremonial events, this book is a unique keepsake that will appeal to all ages.
