The King and Mrs. Simpson: The True Story of the Commoner Who Captured the Heart of a King

by Erin Schulz

Overview

In December of 1936, King Edward VIII of Great Britain shocked the world by giving up his kingdom in order to marry a twice-divorced American commoner named Wallis Simpson. The King and Mrs. Simpson recounts the extraordinary love story between the popular king and the enigmatic woman that began at a party in England and culminated in an abdication nearly six years later. The story has been told before, but The King and Mrs. Simpson is different. Although a work of creative nonfiction that presents the story as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor wanted it to be told, it accurately captures the historical detail that makes their love story legendary.
