NOW A MAJOR TV ADAPTATION STARRING DAVID WALLIAMS & SAMANTHA BOND The Queen and I is a hilarious satire on modern Britain and an exploration of what it really means to be human, by the bestselling author of the Adrian Mole series. ____________ The Royals, they're just like us . . . THE MONARCHY HAS BEEN DISMANTLED When a Republican party wins the General Election, their first act in power is to strip the royal family of their assets and titles and send them to live on a housing estate in the Midlands. Exchanging Buckingham Palace for a two-bedroomed semi in Hell Close (as the locals dub it), caviar for boiled eggs, servants for a social worker named Trish, the Queen and her family learn what it means to be poor among the great unwashed. But is their breeding sufficient to allow them to rise above their changed circumstance or deep down are they really just like everyone else? ____________ 'No other author could imagine this so graphically, demolish the institution so wittily and yet leave the family with its human dignity intact' The Times 'Absorbing, entertaining . . . the funniest thing in print since Adrian Mole' Daily Telegraph 'Kept me rolling about until the last page' Daily Mail

When the republican party wins the British election, the royal family are deposed and are sent to live in an exclusion zone, where they must survive on welfare and take care of themselves. The humanity Townsend brings to these well known figures in a fish out of water scenario is impressive, and as a result, the narrative is hilarious. If you liked the Adrian Mole series, you will love this book.
