These letters, "dating from just days after their first meeting, during an air raid in London in February 1918, until January 1921..give remarkable new insights into Edward's character, providing the reader with a greater understanding of how this fascinating figure could later give up his throne for love." "The letters recount his problems with his father, George V, and his close relationship with his brother, Bertie, later George VI. They record his insenstive reactions to the death of his brother, John, and the murder of the Czar of Russia, as well as giving new insights into his previous relationships with Marion Coke and Rosemary Leveson-Gower." "With reproductions of photographs, cards and memorabilia which Edward also sent to his first great love, these extraordinary letters represent a hugely significant historical source about one of the most enigmatic figures of the twentieth century."
