A very balanced account of the life one of England's most popular monarchs. After the death of Queen Victoria, King Edward VII breathed new life into a stale monarchy. He and his wife set about to see and be seen and were very much loved.

This book was quite enjoyable. From his early difficulties in the schoolroom to his masterful understanding of world politics at the end of his life, the book brings Edward's life full circle in a balanced, easy to read manner.

Good bio of an interesting man. If this period of time is of any interest to you, this is worthwhile reading. Presents some good insight into the good and bad of Albert Edward. On balance, I think he was a good king who generally improved his nation and moved it forward in a positive way. This is particularly evident when he is compared to his peers in the monarch club of the time.
