Review: The Crown: The official Companion vol. 1 by Robert Lacey

Hey Guys! Sorry it's been a while. I'm here with a review for this lovely book right here. So let's get started!

This book is basicly an indepth history of the times and people that the show "The Crown" covers, which I was all over! I Absolutly love this time period, so you can imagine why I loved this book.

This book has pictures! Which should be expected, as it covers history. But it added a nice level to the stories the author told, and I absolutly loved it.

It went more like history book rather than a story, which was a nice change because I do not normally read textbook style books except for school. So yay for me! Branching out!

I just realized that I have not given a summery for this book, so here you go.

Elizabeth Mountbatten never expected her father to die so suddenly, so young, leaving her with a throne to fill and a global institution to govern. Crowned at twenty-five, she was already a wife and mother as she began her journey towards becoming a queen. As Britain lifted itself out of the shadow of war, the new monarch faced her own challenges. Her mother doubted her marriage; her uncle-in-exile derided her abilities; her husband resented the sacrifice of his career and family name; and her rebellious sister embarked on a love affair that threatened the centuries-old links between the Church and the Crown. This is the story of how Elizabeth II drew on every ounce of resolve to ensure that the Crown always came out on top. Written by the show’s historical consultant, royal biographer Robert Lacey, and filled with beautifully reproduced archival photos and show stills, The Crown: The Official Companion: Volume 1 adds expert and in-depth detail to the events of the series, painting an intimate portrait of life inside Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street. Here is Elizabeth II as we’ve never seen her before.

I recomend this book for anyone who loves history, or the Queens, or both! Have fun reading everyone!
