Illustrated by Colin West
Rosen's play on language and his zany plot is matched by Colin West's illustrations in this hilarious Pythonesque romp. In The Royal Huddle the King's advisers suppress the news of his death while they desperately try to find an heir and The Royal Muddle sees the acceptance by all and sundry of a frog as Queen. The awful discovery that she's not actually the legitimate monarch and the cover-up that ensues is only eclipsed by the trick ending. This is a must for top infants, lower juniors and any adults who can lay their hands on the book!
