Description
Wicked Wit of Queen Elizabeth II (The Wicked Wit)
When thinking of the Queen, our first image is one of dignity and
authority. She is the very definition of majesty: the British monarch,
the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and the head of the
Commonwealth. But as anyone who knows her will tell you, in person she
has a wicked sense of humour. Occasionally unintentional (when meeting
guitar legend Eric Clapton she enquired 'Have you been playing a long
time?'), sometimes cannily astute ('I have to be seen to be believed')
and at times downright silly (nicely demonstrated when staff at
Balmoral discovered the Queen jumping up and down with glee exclaiming
'I've won, I've won!' after hearing that England had beaten Australia
in the cricket), her sense of humour is like no other.

Elizabeth, in partnership with the Jubilee Pageant Committee....

history has seen her stand steadfast through triumph and tribulation,
and through the monumental changes that have shaped our world. This
remarkable queen has remained devoted to crown, to country . . . and a
corgi or two! Beginning with the queen as a little girl, planting an
oak tree with her father, There Once is a Queen follows her incredible
story in a way that will bring this historic reign vividly to life for
readers, big and small, around the globe. An exquisite gift book and
commemoration of the Platinum Jubilee, it marks a unique moment in our
