HarperCollinsPublishers, London, first edition, 2004. Cloth, embossed cover title, folio, 34 cm,. 368 pp, ills. From the blurb: "The tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales, shook the world. No one who lived through those days in the late summer of 1997 will ever forget the unprecedented outpourings of grief, shock and anger that followed. And in the days leading up to her funeral it seemed as if the whole of humanity had spontaneously united to mourn her loss. But who was this young woman who had come to symbolize so much to so many? How was it that she could reach out to touch the lives not only of whole communities but individuals, too? What lay behind her inspiration - and what will be the lasting impact of her legacy? Many books have been written about Diana; many more will no doubt follow. None has yet come close to the person so many people speak of as having been a beacon of light in their lives. Here, then, for the first rime is the Diana that many of those closest to her knew. Written with the full cooperation of the late Princess's estate, 'Diana - The Portrait' tells Diana's story through her own words and the words of people, both famous and, until now, unknown. One folding plate creased, otherwise Near Fine in a fingersoiled dustwrapper.
