A Fountain of Information in a Pocket Size Book

I just bought this book earlier this month and I love it. I cannot believe how much information is in it for it's size. It is small enough to carry in my purse so that I always have something to read. I highly recommend to anyone interested in the British Royal family or royal history. In addition to the normal information on the British Royal family, it also contains information on the different members of the royal household, such as Lord Chamberlain and what their job entails, as well as the various royal households. Trust me. This is an excellent book.
