520    "The never-before-published diaries of Alathea Fitzalan 
       Howard-who spent her teenaged years living out World War 
       II in Windsor Great Park with her close friends Princess 
       Margaret and Princess Elizabeth, the future queen of the 
       United Kingdom-provide an extraordinary and intimate look 
       at the British Royal Family. Like so many others in Great 
       Britain, young Alathea Fitzalan Howard's life was turned 
       upside down by the start of the Second World War. Sent to 
       stay with her grandfather at the historic Cumberland Lodge
       in Windsor Great Park, Alathea found the affection she so 
       craved through her close friendship with the two 
       princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, and their parents King 
       George VI and Queen Elizabeth, her neighbors at nearby 
       Windsor Castle. Together, the girls enjoyed parties, 
       cinema evenings, picnics, and more, all recorded in honest
       and captivating detail in Alathea's diary, which she kept 
       as a constant source of comfort. Day by day, from ages 
       sixteen to twenty-two, she recorded the intimate details 
       of her life with the Royal Family and the anxieties of 
       wartime Britain. Now, published for the first time, these 
       unique diaries unveil a candid and vivid portrait of the 
       British Royal Family and of Princess Elizabeth in 
       particular, the warm, quiet young girl who was already on 
       her journey to her ultimate destiny: the Crown"--
