Princess Elizabeth has become the Queen of England, and we meet her and other characters at Sandringham House.

What a lovely bustling place to be. Cooks, housekeepers, and all the staff rushing around to make Christmas perfect and special for the first Christmas with the new Queen.

The kitchen is the busiest place of all and where we meet Jack Devereux, a fill-in chef, and Olive Carter a typist and reporter for the BBC.

How did they meet? Well....they met many years ago and have a history and run into each other at Sandringham House.

Neither could believe they had run into each other. Why were they surprised but pleased?

Find out in this wonderful read by master storytellers Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb as we spend Christmas with the Royals, many lovely characters, and as we follow Olive and Jack both past and present.

Both authors know how to tell a story that you won't be able to put down and that you will think about long after you turn the last page.

A lovely, lovely storyline, wonderful behind-the-scenes information about the Royals, and a beautiful read all around. 5/5
