A QUEEN ADORED: ENGLAND'S ELIZABETH II Countess of Longford, Elizabeth Pakenham, was born in London England in 1906. She attended Lady Margaret Hall and Oxford University where she studied classical history and philosophy. She later married Oxford professor and politician, the seventh Earl of Longford in 1931, with whom she had eight children. She worked as a tutor from 1930-36 in the Worker's Educational Association, and was a member of the Paddington and St. Pomcras Rent Tribunal …

…an example and inspiration to both royalty and the common man alike. Elizabeth Longford's portrayal of the life of Queen Elizabeth II goes unrefuted. She has brought forth a vivid and candid portraiture of her subject. She obviously displays great admiration for the reigning Queen, but has also tried to capture her human side, in weaknesses and strengths alike to give a true account of the life of England's little Princess, Queen Elizabeth II. -----------------------------------------------------------
