The Wicked Wit of Queen Elizabeth II (inbunden, eng)

<p><b>A beautiful collection celebrating the Queen’s humour, with amusing quotations and stories about royal life</b>.<br><br>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<b> wicked sense of humour</b>:<br><br>* Occasionally <b>unintentiona</b>l (when meeting guitar legend Eric Clapton she enquired 'Have you been playing a long time?')<br><br>* Sometimes <b>cannily astute</b> ('I have to be seen to be believed')<br><br>* At times <b>downright silly</b> (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)<br><br>… the Queen’s <b>sense of humour is like no other</b>.

<br><br>Revealing a side of the Queen's personality that the public rarely see, this joyous book is a timely <b>celebration of royal humour </b>as Elizabeth II succeeds Victoria as Britain's longest-serving monarch.</p>
