Just as I expected, very good book. The Delivery was a little late, and the dust cover was damaged, but the book itself was fine.

Any household where anyone lives and is between the ages of 3 and 130 should have a copy. It should not be on a bookshelf. Kitchen table, perhaps. On the floor beside and armchair is another possibility. Handy. Always. Dip in, enjoy a nugget of pure gold. Check what happened in such and such a year. Laugh – not all the time but there are entries which cover our history at its most farcical.
It may be a chronicle of our Royal Family, indeed it is but it is far more than that. It is the story of a nation where through cultural evolution our monarchy has morphed from being warriors leading their men into battle (or not watching cakes burn if you prefer) to becoming one of our countries most loved institution – and a great and efficient tourist attraction.
Buy one. Today. Better still, yesterday.
