The Queen is dead, long live the King. On the occasion of Edward Vll’s coronation, we look back at his life as spoilt child, curious adolescent and womanizing princely glutton. There’s a bizarre secret behind those early motion pictures of a new and rotund monarch.

Extremely interesting. Stephen Fry is a superb narrator. Erudite commentary, atmospheric background effects etc all add to the listeners pleasure. I would love to purchase a good quality book with illustrations & photographs in addition to the story.
