Description
Royal history as you've never seen it before - in limericks!
There once was a man with six wives
Of varying sexual drives.
When each bore no heir
He would have an affair
And divorce them or else take their lives.
A hilarious new title from everyone's favourite limericksmith, Mick Twister. He did world history in the very successful There Was an Old Geezer Called Caesar, and now he's tackling a subject dear to all our hearts - kings and queens. They're all in here, from Alfred the Great to our future king, little Prince George. Mick's entertaining limericks are paired with exquisite illustrations by Hannah Warren, making the book the perfect gift package.
