Treasure to keep: BOOK with SUPERB PICTURES of the highest quality - an innovation in publishing as in a calendar-format to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Blanche Parry and Queen Elizabeth I

This limited edition book, with beautiful photographs, cannot be reprinted. It is produced through the generosity of the owners of the pictures who include H.M. Queen Elizabeth II. All proceeds go to Bacton Church, Herefordshire, where Blanche worshipped as a girl and where her family are buried. Many pictures are placed according to date relevance - for instance Princess Elizabeth’s as she was born in September. The front and back covers are below - but are necessarily overprinted on this website due to copyright. Described as ’unique’, ’magnificent’, ’a good read’, ’the best history book I have ever read’, this book has already sold from Alaska to Australia and throughout Europe and the UK.
