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.
