Flowers for Princess Diana describes first-hand the compelling personality and common touch that the late Princes Diana displayed during her short reign in England. The book is co-authored by Englishman Ian Jackman, who came to be a close friend of Diana's; and by long-time Las Vegas print journalist, TV newsman and author Chuck N. Baker, who met Diana on several occasions. In addition to the detailed text, the book's cover features original never-before-published photographs of Diana that were taken by Jackman. Virtually every time he met Diana at public functions and royal celebrations, he would present her with flowers and then photograph her. In the text, Jackman and Baker recall their meetings with Diana, illuminating a lesser-known, unpretentious and spontaneous side of the princess. Jackman was a champion and advocate of Diana's views on many subjects, and he tried to provide strength and encouragement to her during her periods of tribulation. Diana was a patron and supporter of many charities and causes. One of her passions was her dedication and work in attempting to encourage nations to cease the world-wide production of land mines, which each year maim and take the lives of innocent civilians. Although the text only touches briefly on the subject, the authors hope publication of Flowers For Princess Diana will help to add emotional reinforcement to that particular cause of hers.
