Description

Loes Botman's colourful and detailed illustrations bring the different insects -- including a butterfly, ladybird, beetle, bee and dragonfly -- vivdly to life, and the simple concepts and words make these books perfect for exploring with young children. The Royal Household pays face value for the Maundy Thursday coins that the Queen distributes every Easter (one for each year of her age), however the taxpayer pays for the full cost of the specialist minting, which is never revealed to the public for ‘commercially sensitive’ reasons.

Harkness is first and foremost a historian and academic so her books are full of lovely historical references and anecdotes. They are the pinnacle of privilege, leading enviably gilded lives, but how much do we really know of the royal family’s cosy, taxpayer-funded existence? The love between siblings where one has a LD is ferocious but also has complexities which are so brilliantly articulated in Brother. The author provides a well structured analysis of various aspects of the current Britsih Royal Family backed up with facts and figures and selected anecdotal evidence.Our contributors are encouraged to go forth and find distinctive visions that startle us, rural or urban, modern or prehistoric, industrial, post-industrial, fantastical, natural, political, however they come. the simple concept and one-word text answers the question on each page – an image showing a bee has the word ‘buzz’, a spider ‘spin’ or centipede ‘wiggle’ and so on through the pages. Production: Our production team work closely with designers to ensure everything on screen can be translated to a printed book.

This gorgeous, bright board book introduces young children to a range of insects and creepy-crawlies. This book is a takedown of the Royal Household - mostly Prince Charles and the Queen, for not just getting the British taxpayer to pay for everything their British taxpayer funded top financial advisors can get for them, but also for ignoring laws and getting them changed in the interests of not being accountable and hiding their sources of income and details of their expenditure. Baker has a lot to work with here, from the blatant examples of pro-Nazism from Edward VIII and his American wife (the couple received a gold inscribed wedding gift from Hitler) and the fact that Princess Michael of Kent’s father was a Nazi and fought in WWI against the Allies too, it is almost like shooting fish in a barrel. He puts his case with supporting fact and, where he must make supposition, backs it as well as he can, given the secrecy of the royals about things that should, by rights, be in the public domain. Well, with the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of Charles III, this book is still or even more timely, I guess.Access to the Sky Garden is free of charge on weekdays 10am-6pm and weekends 11am-9pm, see our opening hours here. What with it’s revelations, unfettered consequences and dirt flinging from the public gallery of the House of Commons via ourselves, the kneeling subjects often oblivious and cowtowing. The Queen presides over a merit-free awards system that maintains a top-down mediaeval hierarchy of court favourites that has existed for 700 years. Royalty may add a glamour and mystique to the United Kingdom, but it's the non-royal, non-titled, British people who make Britain great, not some spoiled, entitled, people in a palace.
