What Members Thought
Covers not only Edward as the great warrior king (the "lion" abroad) but as a ruler at home (the "lamb" to his subjects), and also his great building projects - he had hot and cold running water in his bathroom - and his fascination with the new inventions, like clocks. (The title refers to not what Mortimer thinks Edward was, but what his goal was.)
Also makes the argument, well argued, that Edward II did not die in 1327, and that Edward III was aware of it.
