The Queen's Knickers cover

A whimsical tale about a little girl's curiosity regarding the Queen's choice of knickers during a school visit, The Queen's Knickers delights readers of all ages.

In The Queen's Knickers, readers are taken on a whimsical journey through a year filled with royal engagements and a child's playful imagination. The story revolves around the Queen, who has a packed schedule of important events, and a curious little girl who is captivated by the question of what knickers Her Majesty will wear during a school visit. The girl's musings lead to a delightful exploration of the different types of knickers the Queen might choose, from her corgi-adorned at-home knickers to her elegant garden party options, or even her cozy woolly Balmoral ones.

This charming narrative not only entertains but also provides a unique glimpse into the world of royal life through the innocent eyes of a child. As the little girl imagines the Queen's choices, readers are invited to join in on the fun, making it a perfect read for both children and adults alike. The book captures the essence of childhood curiosity and the joy of imagining what goes on behind the scenes of royal duties.

The Queen's Knickers is a celebration of creativity and humor, crafted by the best-selling author-illustrator known for beloved titles like Father Christmas Needs A Wee and Jesus' Christmas Party. This special edition, released in honor of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, is sure to become a treasured addition to any child's bookshelf.
