Book Synopsis''It is actually a serious book, but it had me laughing out loud several times on the Tube. All mothers should receive one for Christmas.'' Marcus Berkmann, Spectator
Everyone who loves The Crown on Netflix will enjoy this celebration of Queen Elizabeth II and her beloved canine friends.
The Queen has had corgis by her side ever since she was seven years old and persuaded her father to buy one for the family. She also has several dorgis (a cross resulting from an accidental liaison between one of the Queen''s corgis and Princess Margaret''s dachshund) and is a passionate breeder of gundogs.
The dogs are the Queen''s constant companions, travelling with her by air, road and rail, from one royal residence to another. She walks and feeds them herself, chooses names for them, and at the end of their days, buries them with personalised plaques to commemorate each individual.
