Sobre este artículo
Random House Publishing Group, 2013. Hardback. Fine/fine. Fine, unread copy in equally fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 726 pp. with index. Illustrations. Entertaining biography of Great Britian's king Edward VII, Queen Victoria's firstborn son, the quintessential black sheep of Buckingham Palace, who matured into a wise and effective monarch. Born Prince Albert Edward, "Bertie" earned a well-deserved reputation for debauchery---a gambler, glotton, and womanizer, who preferred the company of wastrels and courtesans to the dreary life of the Court. he ascended to the throne in 1901 at age 59 and expectations were low but when he died 9 years later, he had proven himself a deft diplomat, hardworking head of state, and the architect of Britain's modern constitutional monarchy.
