THE QUEEN AND I - SUE TOWNSEND KARTONIERT (TB)

The Royals Are Out of Office.    The Sunday roast is burnt  the corgis are gone  and the
monarchy's gone Midlands - a hilarious British classic from the author of Adrian Mole    --  
The Royals  they're just like us . . .   THE MONARCHY HAS BEEN DISMANTLED  When a Republican
party wins the General Election  their first act in power is to strip the royal family of their
assets and titles and send them to live on a housing estate in the Midlands.  Exchanging
Buckingham Palace for a two-bedroomed semi in Hell Close (as the locals dub it)  caviar for
boiled eggs  servants for a social worker named Trish  the Queen and her family learn what it
means to be poor among the great unwashed.  But is their breeding sufficient to allow them to
rise above their changed circumstance or deep down are they really just like everyone else?
____________   'No other author could imagine this so graphically  demolish the institution so
wittily and yet leave the family with its human dignity intact' The Times    'Absorbing 
entertaining . . . the funniest thing in print since Adrian Mole' Daily Telegraph    'Kept me
rolling about until the last page' Daily Mail
