George V's Obsession - a king and his stamps

This is the first biography of King George V for over 30 years and tells the story of his life through his obsession with stamps. As a shy and deeply conservative person stamp collecting was one of the few areas of life in which he found true fulfilment. This book sheds life on the sheltered life of the royal family and also on the impulses which motivate collectors of all types. The author is a member of the Royal Philatelic Society London and writes for the Guardian, The Times and The Independent.
