Reviews

"A fresh and fascinating look at how Queen Elizabeth II has stayed healthy and vital over her nearly 70 years on the throne... Kozlowski's clever and informative book will be embraced by her majesty's many admirers, as well as by readers hoping to pick up some tips for living a long and rewarding life." -Publisher's Weekly

"Fascinating, insightful and witty." -Jane Ridley, professor of history, University of Buckingham, author of Victoria: Queen, Matriarch, Empress

"Spot on...a well-rounded portrait of a real woman." -Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author of The Royal Spyness series

"A fantastic book...the ultimate guide to Queendom." -Jessica Fellowes, author of The Mitford Murders series and The World of Downton Abbey

"An engaging and entertaining compendium of lifestyle advice." -Dr. Tracy Borman, author and historian, joint Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces

"Witty and hilarious, Kozlowski gives our generation something we so desperately need-a guide to living with simplicity and grace-courtesy of one of the most underappreciated celebrities of our time." -Vanessa Woods, New York Times bestselling author, including Survival of the Friendliest

"If anyone has had a good life well-lived, it is Her Majesty the Queen, and Bryan Kozlowski has brilliantly identified the key aspects of how she has achieved it. With an excellent grasp of what has made Elizabeth II's reign unique, he has presented the techniques of leadership of this global icon in an immensely readable (and admirably respectful) way." -Andrew Roberts, New York Times bestselling author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny

"This book could not be more timely. As our world seems to be falling apart around us, demanding sacrifice, self-control and the courage to carry on, Bryan Kozlowski presents us with the salutary example of a woman who has lived a life of purpose and discipline in the service of something greater than herself. Thoroughly conversant with the serious and popular literature on the Queen and much else besides, he writes in a style so engaging and fun that one might miss his very serious and useful message for our times." -Robert Bucholz, professor of history, Loyola University, Chicago

"Long Live the Queen made me feel like I was eavesdropping on Oscar Wilde, the Queen Mum, and Malcolm Gladwell at one of Her Majesty's garden parties. Witty, charming, historically astute, often wickedly funny and always genuinely inspiring, Bryan Kozlowski surprises readers on every page with adroit insight into Queen Elizabeth II's life and practical applications for royal improvements to our own. Whether you're an ingenue intrigued by The Crown or a lifelong loyal subject of the sovereign, Long Live the Queen! is a must-read." -Dudley Delffs, author of The Faith of Queen Elizabeth

"With reverence and humor, Bryan Kozlowski has written an intriguing rationale for why Queen Elizabeth is so long-lived. Part biography, part self-help, this look at Her Majesty through 23 Rules for Living is a fun-and instructional-read for a wider audience than just royal watchers." -Anne Easter Smith, author of A Rose for the Crown, Queen by Right, and This Son of York

"With Queen Elizabeth II securing her status as longest-reigning monarch in the world, Bryan Kozlowski's book comes at an opportune moment. Equally entertaining and erudite, Long Live the Queen! explores what keeps this 94-year-old going. Her rules, it turns out, might well just apply to all of us." -Arianne Chernock, associate professor of history, Boston University

"Scientifically fascinating, beautifully written and immensely practical, Kozlowski's compelling narrative is a book I recommend to all my
