Aprašymas

Just in time for the much-anticipated royal coronation of 2023, the charming story of a family’s madcap quest to witness Queen Elizabeth II’s 1953 coronation, from the beloved author of Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.

Coronation Day, June 2nd, 1953. A humble, working-class family from Sheffield is desperate to see the Queen’s coronation—a once-in-a-lifetime event—even at the expense of their annual seaside holiday. After scrimping and saving, and a family meeting in which the enthusiasm of the children eclipses the skepticism of their mother and grandmother, the Clagg family takes the plunge and buys premium tickets to the big day.

But in classic Gallico fashion, twists and turns await them on the way. Will their tickets be everything they hoped and dreamed? Will granny stop grumbling that it's all a waste of money? Most importantly, will they ever get to see their beloved Queen? In this tender and heartwarming story, Paul Gallico brings to life the joy and fervor that swept the nation during the last royal coronation—and provides delightful historical perspective on the upcoming coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla.
