The Corgi and the Queen

Even a monarch needs a best friend and Queen Elizabeth II found one in a corgi pup she named Susan. From princesshood to queendom the pair forged an unbreakable bond, with Susan even participating in Elizabeth’s wedding day and joining her on honeymoon with Prince Philip. Over the course of her remarkable seventy-year reign the Queen had more than thirty corgi companions, and almost all were direct descendants of her cherished Susan.

This delightful picture book is part biography of Queen Elizabeth, part tribute to the special role that beloved pets can play in our lives. Author Caroline Perry captures how Susan — and then Susan's descendants — offered joy and comfort to the Queen, while Lydia Corry's soft, cheerful illustrations hint at the mischief that these canine companions provided in the midst of royal pomp and circumstance. Complete with family trees for both royals and corgis, this is a charming addition to any bookshelf.
