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”.
