amazing
This is truly a wonderful book about the late Princess of Wales. I was amazed by the sheer volume and substance it contains. The pages are filled with beautiful color photos, illustrations and stories about Diana - from her childhood, her marriage to Charles and her final but brief happiness which ended in tragedy.

The book has a remarkable slide show of Diana's fashion style, secrets of the designers who inspired her gowns, day wear, casual wear, hats, hairstyles - even jewelries.

You would also find in each chapter sidebars about Royal facts, historical events and headlines happening around the world during certain periods of time.

A fascinating read.
