From the age of seven,when he read about George Mallory's 1924 ascent of Everest in his Hotspur comic,Brian Blessed dreamed of recreating Mallory's historic climb.At the age of fifty-three,accompanied by a camera crew,he realised that dream.Wearing the same type of clothing as Mallory,and without oxygen,Blessed followed in his footsteps.

This is really a book about people's dreams.We all have our own personal Everest to climb: for Brian Blessed it was the actual mountain, his desire to come to terms with it and to understand both himself and his hero.For anyone who cherishes an ambition to conquer anything seemingly insurmountable, 'The Turquoise Mountain' is a charm,an encouragement and an inspiration.

'One of the strangest untold stories of our time' is how John Pearson describes the extraordinary transformation of the modern British monarchy into an 'ultimate family' of international superstars,somehow managing to uphold the dignity of the Crown while their adventures and personalities are transmitted round the globe like episodes in the world's most popular soap-opera.Starting with Queen Mary's central influence on the sacred royal image inherited by Elizabeth II,Pearson describes the strains of sacrificing human desire to royal duty.Giving the first real account of television's impact on the Coronation - and how it started to transform the whole image of royalty - he traces the subsequent decline in public popularity through a period in which traditional courtiers stifled both the Duke of Edinburgh's ambitions and Princess Margaret's love-life.But the most important revelations of this unique book come two decades later at the time of Prince Charles's Investiture in 1969,with the launch of a hidden but immensely successful PR campaign by and around the Court.Now for the first time the 'human' face of royalty was advertised,as the Palace's 'hidden persuaders' all but saved the British monarchy from expiring in its own inertia.But for each member of the royal family there was a price to be paid.Nowhere is this more so than with the 'ultimate dream princess','the most famous and envied woman in the world',Diana,Princess of Wales.With a wealth of original insight and research, 'The Ultimate Family' unerringly and wittily describes the personalities,the secret aims and backstairs conflicts behind this amazing revolution.Above all,it pays credit to the most intriguing character of all at the centre of the story: Queen Elizabeth II,whose unsuspected qualities and skills have made her reign such an extraordinary and unexpected triumph.A rich and fascinating tribute to her remarkable achievements,'The Ultimate Family' defines the royal family for the Eighties.
