'Lovely... delivers the warmest of glows' - Telegraph

'Who wouldn't love this chocolate-box delight of insights and snapshots of The Queen...A treasure chest' - Good Housekeeping

In 2022, Queen Elizabeth II celebrated seventy years as Queen and Head of the Commonwealth. She was Britain's longest reigning monarch and the very first to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee.

A Queen for All Seasons is a perceptive, touching, and engaging tribute to this unique woman: a treasure chest of first-hand writings, insights, and snapshots of The Queen during key moments of her reign and life, through to her death in September 2022.

Joanna Lumley guides us as we meet Princess Elizabeth in 1952, aged just twenty-five, and about to become Queen, and brings us through to the twenty-first century. In the role of matriarch, The Queen kept the national ship steady through seven decades, including in moments of crisis and suffering.

Together this forms a vibrant portrait of the woman herself and the extraordinary role she played.

About the Author

Joanna Lumley was born in Kashmir and educated in Malaysia and Sussex. She has spent much of her life in books, reading them night and day, and sometimes even writing them. Reading is the prop and mainstay of her life, but she has wrenched herself away to act in theatre, films and television, criss-crossing the globe with television documentaries and lending her voice to as many deserving causes as she can.

Dazzled by the wit and wisdom of others, she cuts out and keeps treasured pieces she wishes she had written herself. She is married to the conductor Stephen Barlow who reads all the time: theirs is a quiet household.
