An awesome adventure. A wonderful romp of a read that's a great introduction to London, royalty and all that makes Britain great.
A visual feast from the moment you cast your eyes over the cover... a quintessentially British charm.
I absolutely adored this book... perfectly executed with style and grace... captures London perfectly. This is a story for all generations and a brilliant, British book to boot. It's almost beyond words... every British household needs a copy, whether or not you're George's, William's or Charles's generation. * * * * *
A timely picture-book treasure... exuberant illustrations. It's the best guide to London since Ludwig Bemelmans's Madeline in London, too. -Amanda Craig
Stunning... lovingly rendered... possibly the most stylish and worthwhile souvenir of London you can buy.

A riotous Royal romp through magnificent capital city. Beautifully unique in its sophisticated and engaging illustrative style, this story unfolds page by magnificent page.
A funny tale about what happened to the Queen's hat when the wind went SWISH!
A certain future classic, and without a doubt my absolute new favourite picture book.
This is a heart-warmingly humorous book which did not fail to raise a smile or two from this particular reader
A real love letter to the capital.
