One of the guests was the Duke of Windsor, who when asked what he would wish for if he had one wish, turned to the Duchess and answered ?You.? Diana Mosley found this intriguing and telling: the starting point for her quest for an understanding of the Duchess of Windsor. She knew them both well during their long sojourn in France, and strove to get the inside story for this perceptive biography of Wallis. Her text is complemented by a remarkable series of pictures assembled by Jack Le Vien, the film producer, who worked so closely with the Windsors on the highly acclaimed film, ?A King?s Story.?* A NEAR FINE text copy of the 1st/1st with some slight faults in a VG protected dust jacket.*
