There Once is a Queen: A poetic, beautifully illustrated children’s book – the perfect royal gift to commemorate the Queen

Product Information

First of all, the author mentions the Faerie Queen. I respect the little history lesson and literary education for children on a writer who doesn’t get much of the limelight. Edmund Spenser’s works are fascinating to study and to mention Spenser in a children’s book… wow! 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! The RRP is the suggested or Recommended Retail Price of a product, set by the publisher or manufacturer.
