Publisher's bright,crisp,clean, original plain brown cloth boards with bright,crisp,blocked gilt letters to spine/backstrip and clean,beige royal monogrammed decorated endpapers.UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,illustrated,1st edn,vii-xi+1-308pp [paginated] includes Illustration list/table,Editor Preface,an Introduction,Pts 1-3 comprising 15 chapters,16pp of subjects' contemporary b/w photographs in 2 blocks of 8pp apiece,between pp84/5 and pp180/1 respectively,numerous b/w facsimile reproductions of letters/correspondence etc., interspersed throughout the text and the book,Appendices (3), an Index; plus [unpaginated] half-title+title pages,and a Contents list/table. If ever there was a book of which it could be truly said that 'here is the story the world has been waiting for',this is that book.No romance is more famous than that of Wallis Warfield of Baltimore and Edward VIII of England who gave up his throne for love of her.And yet,reading the dramatic and long-awaited documents published here for the first time,we are forced to admit that we knew nothing of what really passed between them.For here is the future Duchess of Windsor's diary in the form of her letters to her Aunt Bessie,giving a month-by-month record of her growing involvement with the man born to be king; and here is her intimate correspondence with Edward himself,before,during and after his reign.These letters speak with a truth and a passion which no mere description could convey.We see Edward,as Prince and King, obsessed with love to the point of madness,begging to be led by his beloved,writing to her in terms of infantile adoration.We see Wallis as a woman caught up in a great and ultimately terrible adventure - at first naively thrilled to be his favourite and out to help him,later desperate to escape from him and so keep him on his throne.Then,during the long weeks of separation between the Abdication and their marriage,we find them expressing their feelings in an exchange of letters unique in the annals of romantic correspondence - letters full of tender longing for each other and bitterness at their treatment by the British establishment and by fate. Michael Bloch's editing of this sensational correspondence is as informed as it is reticent.His commentary is designed to help the reader find his way; it never suggests what the reader ought to think.But after six years of research in the Windsor archive in Paris,he is now able to present the intimate facts of a unique story,told in the words of the principal actors,as the unimpeachable evidence of what transpired between Wallis and Edward from the moment of their first meeting up to the time they became man and wife.
