The Reign: Life in Elizabeth's Britain, Part I: The Way It Was, 1952-79 (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0BPDJBX8L | 2022 | 19 hours and 21 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 545 MB Author: Matthew Engel Narrator: Peter Kenny She came to the throne in 1952 when Britain had a far-flung empire, sweets were rationed, mums stayed home and kids played on bombsites. Seventy years on, everything has changed utterly-except the Queen herself, ageing far more gracefully than the fractious nation over which she so lightly presides. How did we get from there to here in a single reign? To cancel culture, anti-vaxxers and Twitter feeds? Matthew Engel tells the story-starting with the years from Churchill to Thatcher-with his own light touch and a wealth of fascinating, forgotten, often funny detail.
