Author Description

Kings and Queens of England and Britain takes its readers on a journey from the Saxons right up to the current day monarch Queen Elizabeth II. It is the second title in White on Black's tea card genre and arms its readers with highlights of each King or Queen's reign. You will find out who was the first English Monarch to have a proper portrait on his coins, who kept a "drunken Elephant," which King wore high-heeled shoes, who had the most illegitimate children, who competed at Wimbledon, who is behind the "Royal Oak" pubs and who used their Royal Navy severance pay to fund the tackling of community issues. The book is crammed full of these and other interesting facts which gives the reader a fantastic oversight on the character of each monarch. As is now tradition with the White on Black brand - the author will donate £1 from every book sale to this very deserving British Charity - The Prince's Trust.
