Ever since EDWARD VIII gave up his throne in 1936 to marry herthe extraordinary career of WallisDuchess of Windsorhas never ceased to fascinate.How was it that the most eligible bachelor in the world fell in love with this unknown American womanwho was not generally considered beautiful What was the nature of their relationship Was she responsible for the Abdication What was she really like The fatherless poor relation of two distinguished American familiesWallis Warfield grew up to be tough and self-reliant. Her unhappy first marriage to a sadistic naval officer was followed by an adventurous period during which she had many love affairs and visited China.It was during her second marriageto the sentimental London businessman Ernest Simpsonthat she met the Prince of Waleswho three years later fell passionately in love with herand three years after that renounced an empire to be united with her. During their complicated life in exileoften in the glare of hostile publicityshe worked hard to give him an existence suitable for an ex-Kingand to make him feel his sacrifice had been worthwhile.The years after his death were sad onesand the protectiveness of her French lawyerMaitre Suzanne Blumonly served to heighten curiosity about the Duchess's strange life. Many questions remain unanswered.Why did her birth go unrecorded What were the qualities which so infatuated the Prince of Wales Why did she never have children Michael Blochwho spent ten years as Maitre Blum's assistant and edited the Windsor's private correspondence see rja31088 and rja31098 - an author SIGNED copy. in two best selling volumesis the ideal person to provide this biographical reassessment.In it he dispels much of the mystery that has surrounded herand paints a vivid portrait of a courageous glamorous and unusual individual - perhaps in some ways not a woman at all.

If ever there was a book of which it could be truly said that 'here is the story the world has been waiting for'this is that book.No romance is more famous than that of Wallis Warfield of Baltimore and Edward VIII of England who gave up his throne for love of her.And yetreading the dramatic and long-awaited documents published here for the first timewe are forced to admit that we knew nothing of what really passed between them.For here is the future Duchess of Windsor's diary in the form of her letters to her Aunt Bessiegiving a month-by-month record of her growing involvement with the man born to be king; and here is her intimate correspondence with Edward himselfbeforeduring and after his reign.These letters speak with a truth and a passion which no mere description could convey.We see Edwardas Prince and King obsessed with love to the point of madnessbegging to be led by his belovedwriting to her in terms of infantile adoration.We see Wallis as a woman caught up in a great and ultimately terrible adventure - at first naively thrilled to be his favourite and out to help himlater desperate to escape from him and so keep him on his throne.Thenduring the long weeks of separation between the Abdication and their marriagewe find them expressing their feelings in an exchange of letters unique in the annals of romantic correspondence - letters full of tender longing for each other and bitterness at their treatment by the British establishment and by fate. Michael Bloch's editing of this sensational correspondence is as informed as it is reticent.His commentary is designed to help the reader find his way; it never suggests what the reader ought to think.But after six years of research in the Windsor archive in Parishe is now able to present the intimate facts of a unique storytold in the words of the principal actorsas the unimpeachable evidence of what transpired between Wallis and Edward from the moment of their first meeting up to the time they became man and wife.
