About this deal

Michael Morpurgo writes brilliantly about war and animals, conveying the big emotions without preaching.” - Guardian 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! The children were saying “oh she was as young as us!” or “she’s gone through lots of things in her 96 years!” From 1st July 2021, VAT will be applicable to those EU countries where VAT is applied to books - this additional charge will be collected by Fed Ex (or the Royal Mail) at the time of delivery.

There Once is a Queen – HarperCollins Publishers UK

It describes her as a little girl who loved horses and corgis and then grew up, joined the war effort, then married her prince charming, became Queen and had children of her own while continuing to rule over the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. The story gives a good summary of the Queen’s life and her service to the country while the detailed illustrations help readers imagine the important events in the lifetime of this real-life fairy-tale princess who became our Queen. If I ever become a children's book author, I hope I write as beautiful as Michael Morpurgo or Oliver Jeffers or as funny as Jeff Kinney.

If I ever become a adult's book author, I hope I write as amazing as and the one and only William Goldman.

I loved this book even though I am a 32 year old adult and I’m glad I bought it as a little celebration for Elizabeth II’s jubilee.
