The Life of King Edward VII
with a sketch of the career of King George V
The Life of King Edward VII was written by the Canadian journalist J. Castell Hopkins and published in 1910, the year of the king's death, with a sketch of the career of his successor George V. It covers the Prince's christening and education under the eye of Prince Albert, the tour of Canada and the United States in 1860, his marriage to Alexandra of Denmark, the long decades as heir apparent, his charitable and public work, and the nine years of his reign, with its diplomacy and the entente with France. Hopkins writes from an imperial and Canadian point of view, admiring and uncritical, and the book is a good specimen of the popular royal biography of its day.
