Yes there is one by
John Van Der Kiste called
"The Kings of the Heleens" which was a good read. It is not that indepth but it covers all the Kings and is easy to read, and I would recomend it as an introduction to the Greek Royal Family to wet your apitite.
"Alice: Princess Andrew of Greece" by
Hugh Vickers is also still in print. Both are available from Amazon etal.
Dont be put off by books being out of print. I recomend using
http://abebooks.co.uk - second hand book shops around the world list the books they have on there so it is an excelent resource for any second hand books you may want. have found the biographies of
King Paul and
Queen Frederica on there, both
reasonably priced. The "as new" condition books are naturaly more expensive but i found several copies for sale of both books at low prices and both still in good condition. The webpage details the book and i have always found their condition description acurate when i received the books. The webpage customer support is also very helpfull if you do hit any problems.
I have also purchased other books from the site, Including one written by Air Vice Marshall Arthur Gould-Lee (i think that was his name, i dont have it to hand to check) who was in Greece during the second world war and gives a very interesting account of the families lives during this time. Prince Christopher's autobiography is also a good read if you can find it.
