12 Days of Christmas book giveaway – Day 2

DECEMBER is finally here, and with it, come the Christmas carols, decorations and end-of-the-year parties.

But sometimes, it can be difficult to get into the holiday cheer. And with many still recovering from the economic pitfalls of lockdown, rising fuel prices and the ever-looming load-shedding, Caxton Local Media, in partnership with several prominent publishing houses, will be running 12 book giveaways to stir up the festive spirit.

This is our own twist to the 12 Days of Christmas. And while this is traditionally supposed to run from December 25 to January 5, we thought we would start out our December with a ‘12 Days of Giveaways’!

For our second instalment, we will be honouring the late Queen Elizabeth the second.

One lucky reader can win a copy of Robert Hardman’s biography of the late monarch.

Simply fill in the competition form below to stand a chance to win!

Queen of Our Times: The Life of Elizabeth II, Robert Hardman, Pan Macmillan, ISBN: 9781529063424

The definitive new biography of Her Majesty The Queen by one of Britain’s leading royal authorities.

With original insights from those who know her best, new interviews with world leaders and access to unseen papers, bestselling author Robert Hardman explores the full, astonishing life of our longest-reigning monarch in this compellingly authoritative yet intimate biography.

Elizabeth II was not born to be queen. Yet from her accession as a young mother of two in 1952 to the age of Covid-19, she has proved an astute and quietly determined figure, leading her family and her people through more than seventy years of unprecedented social change. She has faced constitutional crises, confronted threats against her life, rescued the Commonwealth, seen her prime ministers come and go, charmed world leaders, been criticised as well as feted [honoured] by the media, and steered her family through a lifetime in the public eye.

Queen of Our Times is a must-read study of dynastic survival and renewal, spanning abdication, war, romance, danger and tragedy. It is a compelling portrait of a leader who remains as intriguing today as the day she came to the throne at age twenty-five.

*T&Cs – The winner will be selected by Caxton Local Media. Competition entries close on Monday, December 5. The winner will be notified via telephone. The winner will be required to collect their copies from the Highway Mail office at 115 Escom Road, New Germany, Pinetown.
