Book Reviews of Diana, An Amazing Life: The People Cover Stories, 1981-1997
Book Review: Wonderful book
Summary: 5 Stars
People Magazine scrupulously chronicled Diana's life from when she became engaged to the Prince to her tragic death. This span of years from 1981-1997 are covered in this tribute book to the late Princess of Wales. The covers are reproduced and excerpts and selected photographs from the articles are included. People did add wedding pictures which were not included in the original issue. It is a poignant look with covers featuring a couple apparently in love starting a life together, the births of the children and the rapid descent into marital discord and eventual separation and divorce. There is an eery comment by Charles about his new fiancee in one of the early issues that he will have to get used to seeing the backs of photographers when Lady Diana is around; Charles' jealousy apparently started way back then--this jealousy of Diana's popularity was a factor in the erosion of the marriage. There are pics of the "other woman" Camilla Parker Bowles and issues highlighting Diana's friendship with her sister in law Sarah Ferguson (two covers stories including The Merry Wives of Windsor focus on the pair). There are lovely photographs of Diana with the young princes and chronicles the lives of William and Harry as they grew up. For those who are fans of the late Princess this is a must have. It will also serve as a guide to collectors who want the original issues--they can try to locate the original issues via ebay and other venues and now can match the issues and cover stories via the book. Highly recommended.
