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.
Queen Elizabeth II's Guide to Life
A timely celebration of the many attributes our Queen brings to the
nation - fortitude, stoicism, diplomacy, family values, sense of fun
and style among them.Queen Elizabeth II - Britain's longest-serving
monarch, Supreme Governor of the Church of England and the Head of the
Commonwealth - has reigned over us for a record-breaking sixty-seven
years. Now in her ninety-fourth year, this timely celebration sheds
new light on the myriad attributes and personal qualities she brings
to the nation.
There Once is a Queen: A stunning poetic celebration of Queen
Elizabeth, in partnership with the Jubilee Pageant Committee....
There once was a little girl, born a princess. While she was still a
young woman, she became a queen, our Queen Elizabeth. Now, seventy
years later, her reign as the longest serving female monarch in
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
shared history and will be a treasured keepsake for generations to
come....
