Black, Crawford's ghostwriter, was an early mainstay.
Books
The Little Princesses and Marion Crawford's other royal-watching
books are out of print, although second-hand copies are fairly easy to
come by (see ABE Books). The same fate has befallen
Dermot Morrah's authorised royal works and Dorothy Black's romantic fiction.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother by Alan Hamilton
(HarperCollins, 1999) £16.99
Hamilton, the royal correspondent of The Times, continues Morrah's
tradition of authorised royal biography.
The Queen: A biography of Elizabeth II by Ben Pimlott (John Wiley,
1997) £9.99
Pimlott breaks with the conventions of royal anecdotage by setting the Queen in a political context.
Dynasty: The turbulent saga of the royal family from Victoria to Diana
by Donald Spoto (Simon and Schuster, 1995) £6.99
A wildly speculative but highly readable introduction to Windsor-watching.
The End of the House of Windsor: Birth of a British republic by
Stephen Haseler (IB Tauris, 1993) £25
Haseler puts an eloquent case for the abolition of the monarchy.
