"Lilibet: the Girl Who Would Be Queen" by A.N. Wilson

A celebration of the life of Queen Elizabeth II, showing us that the Queen's qualities of duty, self-sacrifice and love of country were present in her from an early age.

Lilibet: a carefree child, a lover of horses and dogs, devoted to her family..and the girl who would be Queen. A.N. Wilson, one of England's most beloved writers, imagines the Queen reflecting on her early life. We watch as she discovers, at the age of ten, that she is heir to the throne. We witness her meet the dashing Prince Phillip of Greece and see their friendship blossom into passionate love. We learn of her astonishing sense of vocation and public duty, which grew during the dark years of WWII and her father's subsequent years of ill health. Honoring the life of Her Majesty the Queen and her illustrious reign, Lilibet: The Girl Who Would be Queen is by turns funny, tender and heartfelt
