Review
A certain future classic, and without a doubt my absolute new favourite picture book. (LiteraryLoves)
The joy of this books is in the detail… each stylish spread contains lots to look and laugh at. Beautifully depicts our traditions and our relationship with the Royal Family… brilliant. (Rhino Reads)
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. * * * * * (Bookbag)
An awesome adventure. A wonderful romp of a read that’s a great introduction to London, royalty and all that makes Britain great. (The Sun)
Hilarious… chuckles aplenty with every turn of the page… wonderful illustrations… if this debut is anything to go by, Steve Antony’s creative talent is one to follow with interest. * * * * (Books for Keeps)
Sweet simplicity and charming monochromatic drawings. (The Times)
A timely picture-book treasure… exuberant illustrations. It’s the best guide to London since Ludwig Bemelmans’s Madeline in London, too. -Amanda Craig (The Oldie)
Hilarious… stylish… an almighty ode to London. Will brighten up any bookshelf. (The Looking Glass)
Gorgeous… I’d quite happily have any of the illustrations on my wall. (Charlotte Eyre – POP (People of Publishing))
A riotous Royal romp through magnificent capital city. Beautifully unique in its sophisticated and engaging illustrative style, this story unfolds page by magnificent page. (The Book Sniffer)
