Toronto: Dundurn, 2009. 212 pp, 9" H. "We're all familiar with the trials and tribulations of the House of Windsor, but there are more than 25 royal families that still wield power in the world today, from Japan and Thailand to Saudi Arabia and Scandinavia. The crown prince of Q&A, Doug Lennox, is at it again, this time with a cornucopia of facts and frivolities about the escapades, excesses, and extravagances of the world's monarchies, past and present. From betrayal to beheadings to pageantry and privilege, discover the truth about life behind the castle walls. Which wife of England's Henry VIII had six fingers on one hand? What disease did Queen Victoria pass on to some of her descendants? Which member of the royal family competed at the Olympics? Where did the word 'czar' come from? What did Marie Antoinette say before she was executed? Where is King Arthur's Round Table? What was the first imperial dynasty of China?" These and many more questions are answered in this book. Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - clean and bright.. First Edition. Soft Cover. Near Fine.
