Mrs. Queen...and we know who she is...wanders back from the Royal stables musing on how dull things have become, and somehow, the Palace loses her. And she's off! There's romance, too. What fun!

Charming, Quaint, Readable
This charming fantasy takes Queen Elizabeth II, only a little foggy in her mid-80s, on an almost plausible trip by train from London to Scotland. The author deftly works in a medley of secondary characters who are all necessary to make this odyssey happen and who develop their own engaging sub-plots. For light reading and a respectful, affectionate look at this stalwart monarch you can't do better. It is a fantasy, but all the details ring true, so it's not hard to suspend disbelief.
