1938 Uncle of Europe: The Social and Diplomatic Life of Edward VII, by Gordon Brook-Shepherd (read 14 Aug 1985) This is a chatty book by a British journalist (whose The Last Hapsburg I read on Feb 2, 1983). It tells in a journalistic way Edward VII's story. Quite a contrast in style to the historian who wrote the book I just read before this: George I Elector and King, by Ragnhild Hatton. Edward VII was born 9 Nov 1841 and died 6 May 1910. Not a bad book. ( )
