The Heir Apparent: A Life of Edward VII, the Playboy Prince by Jane Ridley

5.0

What a fantastic history. Ridley really goes out of her way to show how history is done, with vivid, engaging prose, good solid research, and some great insights into her subject. I don't think I can think of another history of Edward VII which comes even close to this book's level. I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone interested in finding about this particular monarch and era.
