Good For a Smile

The anecdotes in "Corgi and Bess" are certainly benign humor. Nothing goes for the jugular -- far from it. Despite the quirks and idiosyncracies, at the end of the book, you can still be a certifiable Royalist. If you're really intent on reading the book, it's easily done in one sitting. But since the entries are rarely more than four sentences, it's ideal for the coffee table or the bathroom. Let me add that the book itself is an elegant product. A lovely dust jacket and binding; high quality paper; and very nice line drawings throughout. I think the right word is "dolce far niente."
