A completely absorbing account of the life of King Simeon II of Bulgaria, the last Tsar of Bulgaria and a former Prime Minister. This is probably one of the most beautifully written memoirs I've ever read. One of the things I loved most about it was the author's lack of ill feeling towards those who have done him wrong over the years. I also enjoyed reading of his relationships with other royal families, particularly those of Morocco and Jordan.

In the book, King Simeon says that he doesn't like to waste words and likes to think them over carefully before using them. Well, I can say that not one word was wasted.

A job well done. ( )
