Summary
Readers' Favorite Book Award Winner
In December of 1936, King Edward VIII of Great Britain shocked the world by giving up his kingdom in order to marry a twice-divorced American commoner named Wallis Simpson. The King and Mrs. Simpson recounts in a novella-sized work the extraordinary love story between the popular king and the enigmatic woman that began at a party in England and culminated with the downfall of his reign nearly six years later.
"...the approach treats them like a story out of a romance novel, choosing the avenue of creative nonfiction and using it well." (The Midwest Book Review)
"All the elements of scandal, intrigue, and social criticism, and demands of any monarchy are found in this highly readable book." (The Clinton Daily News)
"This is a must read for those who don't like to plow through the tomes of history, yet want to know the story." (The Lakeland Times)
