“There once is a queen ever constant to her people....”

From the nation’s favourite storyteller Sir Michael Morpurgo comes a poetic celebration of our queen and longest reigning monarch.

There once was a little girl, born a princess. While she was still a young woman, she became a queen, our Queen Elizabeth. Now, 70 years later, her reign as the longest serving female monarch in history has seen her stand steadfast through triumph and tribulation, and through the monumental changes that have shaped our world. This remarkable queen has remained devoted to crown, to country...and a corgi or two!

Beginning with the queen as a little girl, planting an oak tree with her father, There Once Is a Queen follows her incredible story in a way that will bring this historic reign vividly to life for listeners, big and small, around the globe. An exquisite gift book and commemoration of the Platinum Jubilee, it marks a unique moment in our shared history and will be a treasured keepsake for generations to come.

The perfect keepsake book for grandchildren

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2022

Beautifully, sensitively written and illustrated story of our queen’s life. Perfect for reading, sharing and talking about in so many ways with children, but also enjoyable for all of those of us who have shared many of the milestones in her life.

I purchased this book to read to my class of Year Six children and they were fascinated and moved by it. It led to further discussion about the major events of the last seventy years and how life has changed. The book is a joy to read and the illustrations are beautiful. I would definitely recommend.

Brilliant present

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2022

I bought one of these books for a six year old. The story of the Queen's life with beautiful illustrations. Everything was in there from her childhood and the corgis, when she first became Queen, her love of horses, and the years in between leading to the Christmas speech to the Nation. A truly lovely book. So pleased with it that I bought another 2 for different children. They loved it. A very nice memento indeed.

Fabulous book, but....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 May 2022

Fabulous book but the paper slipcover was covered in greasy finger-marks. Bought to give way, I am so unhappy about this.
Surely it should have a packaging cover?

Bought 2 books for my little great nieces and nephew, as a souvenir for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. I even wrote inside, as a reminder for why they’d been given. Beautiful illustrations and wonderful keepsake. Would definitely recommend
