A Greek Orthodox Nun in Buckingham Palace

My narrative of the life of Mother Alice-Elizabeth is of course informed by a number of published books and articles about her of her family that I have carefully read and studied. My selective presentation and arrangement of such material, however, has been shaped by information and impressions collected from those who either knew her or her intimates and who appreciated her spiritual pursuits. This is seldom the case with the little that has been written about her. Indeed, biases and prejudices of various kinds, as well as political considerations, have long coloured public perceptions of the Princess and especially, qua nun. — Backcover
