Critic Reviews

“The Queen is not a subject beyond humour; a welcome, gold-embossed reissue of Nicholas Allan's picture book The Queen's Knickers takes a cheerily irreverent look at royals”

The Queen is not a subject beyond humour; a welcome, gold-embossed reissue of Nicholas Allan's picture book The Queen's Knickers takes a cheerily irreverent look at royals -- Julia Eccleshare Guardian
Humourous, entertaining and a little bit naughty, this classic has been revived with a eye-catching new cover for the Jubilee, the story inside is as brilliant as it has always been . . . Pairing a tongue-in-cheek story of how the Queen chooses her undergarments, with charming and warming illustrations, creates a book to be loved by children of all ages Book Keepers
A jolly story . . . This one made my four-year-old son hoot with laughter -- Lorna Bradbury Daily Telegraph
This new edition will hopefully bring the book to a whole new audience of knicker-making monarchists Independent
This is a knockout . . . Affectionate, funny and entirely delightful Books for Children
