Phillip Ardagh's book of Kings, Queens, Emperors & Rotten Wart Nosed Commoners

CONDITION-VERY GOOD

One day, when bowing low to Her Majesty, the Earl of Oxford couldn't help but break wind.  The poor man felt so embarrassed that he left the court - and some say the country - for seven years.  Upon his return, after such a long absence, the first thing Good Queen Bess said on seeing him was, "Lord, I had forgot the fart!" A very funny collection of fantastic trivia and amazing facts about royalty and rulers of all kinds throughout history, all from the very witty pen of Philip Ardagh.
