About This Book

The author sketches a popular history of a quarter-century of peace under the reigning monarch, presenting a sequence of public events — royal processions and inaugurations, local celebrations such as silver weddings and jubilees, responses to floods and relief efforts, national festivals marking restoration and independence, periods of royal mourning, and the sovereign's patronage of the arts. Each chapter offers a vivid, accessible account of specific incidents and communal reactions, intended to explain why the era was celebrated and to cultivate patriotic appreciation among younger readers.
