Title: Elizabeth Lite
Review: It is surprising that the author of such fascinating and well-researched biographies such as "The First Elizabeth" and "Great Harry" could also write "Lilibet," a piece of biographical fluff. This book manages to be disrespectful of its subject without offering any juicy insights into her life or reign. The only real shocker is the portrait of Prince Philip who comes across as a bore and a bully with an unfortunate grating laugh.Erickson is such a gifted biographer, especially her work on the Tudors, that this book is especially disappointing: one expects so much more of her.
