Synopsis

Test your knowledge of kings and queens by attempting to answer some 300 questions across 25 topics, from early kingdoms to the realms of England, Scotland and Wales and the British Royal Family of the modern era.

The topics range from Coronations to Sports and Pastimes – from the first English queen crowned in her own right to the only royal to have won an Olympic Medal. Do you know which country’s national anthem uses the same music as 'God Save the King'? Whose corpse is said to have exploded in its coffin? What was Queen Victoria's first name? These hundreds of puzzles are accompanied by a wealth of illustrations from the collections of the British Library. Accept the challenge and see how much more you can learn.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

As we prepare for a coronation, now is a good time to test your knowledge of constitutional history by attempting to answer 300 questions across 30 categories, ranging from the early kings and queens of England and Scotland, through to today’s royal family. Each section has 10 brain teasers, conundrums and anagrams on a particular subject, such as dynasties, religion or exile, combining illustrated and written questions, and finishing with a bonus 'Genius' question.

An end section provides all the answers in comprehensive detail, so by the last page, you are fully prepared for the Carolean era. What do you already know – how much more can you learn? And just who is the longest-reigning English king?
