Do Let's Have Another Drink!

This biography offers a refreshingly intimate portrait of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, told through 101 witty and revealing anecdotes that span her entire life. The narrative captures her unique personality from her formative years during World War I through pivotal moments like the 1936 abdication crisis, all framed by her legendary social grace and fondness for a good cocktail. It’s a history book that feels more like a conversation with a clever, charming friend, providing a human-scale look at a monumental figure.

What makes this account so compelling is its focus on the small, often humorous moments that defined her character, rather than a dry chronological record. Readers who enjoy personality-driven histories and behind-the-palace-doors stories will find this an utterly engaging read. The book’s structure makes it perfect for dipping in and out, leaving you with a surprisingly vivid and three-dimensional understanding of one of the twentieth century's most enduring royals.
