Product Description
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 lives not only of whole communities but individuals, too? What lay behind her inspiration-and what will be the lasting impact of her legacy?

No book yet written about Diana has come close to the person so many people speak of as having been a beacon of light in their lives. Here, for the first time, 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. Beautifully designed, it is a lavishly illustrated with nearly 500 images of Diana, including many pictures never previously published, taken from sources including the Spencer family archive, the Althorp Museum, the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund archive, and the private collections of the friends, charities, and individuals whose lives she touched.

Drawing on over 200 original interviews, including those of family members and friends, many of whom have never spoken before, this remarkable book will stand as a unique and lasting testament to the life and work of one of the extraordinary and enduring icons of the 20th century.

5 out of 5 stars very nice book at low price   May 11, 2008
First of all I saw this book at the library of Hansabanka Latvia . I decided - I want this book. When I ordered it in Amazon I thought it is not this book because price was about less than $ 15. When I received Diana's album The Portrait I saw - it is book I need !

I bought this book as a gift for my 97 year old mother (still mentally alert and an avid reader) and had it delivered to her house. She complained that the print was peach colored and very light and she couldn't read it, but that the pictures were beautiful. Assuming that I had received a bad copy I went to a Barns and Noble store, purchased a second copy, and sent it to her.

Upon inspecting the second copy, prior to sending it, I quickly discovered what the problem was. The font size in this book is very tiny; so small I have to struggle to see it and I have intraocular lens implants and read a couple of books a week. I solved the problem by including a big magnifying glass in the book shipment.

The bottom line is; the print in this book is just too small for older eyes. Otherwise, it's a beautiful book.

This is a well organize book. The photos are excellent. I have seem most of the photos, but not all. This book is well put together. As I turn the pages, I remember the outfits and events. This would make an excellent gift for a Diana fan.

This is a book I will treasure forver of our beloved princess. What a remarkable women. I suggest for those who haven,t read or seen the amazing photographs in here should.


5 out of 5 stars A Must Have For Any Fan of Diana and her work.   November 5, 2005
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

I love Princess Diana. I love Diana so much that I went to Althorp to pay my respects to her. This book, Diana: A Portrait brought back those memories. The book is filled with photos of Diana throughout her life, not just when she was a princess. Many of the photos come straight from items that are on display at the exhibit at Althorp, such as her school uniform and report cards. I feel that the book is a companion to that visit I made. If you get the opportunity to go to Althorp, by all means do go. If you can not get to Althorp, this book brings the Althorp exhibit and feeling to you. The photos are beautiful as is the text about Diana's life. The price tag is steep, but this book is a must for a Diana fan. As the exhibit says: The work continues.
