The Queen and I (1992) asks a simple question: what would happen if the British monarchy were abolished and the Royal Family had to live on a housing estate in the Midlands? Sue Townsend answered it with sharp humor, imagining the Queen struggling with benefit forms, noisy neighbors, and an entirely unfamiliar way of life.

Queen Camilla (2006) returned to this premise, updating it for a new era. Townsend’s gift for satire was on full display in both books, and her affection for her characters kept the comedy from becoming mean-spirited. The series is a good companion to the Adrian Mole books for readers who enjoy Townsend’s brand of social comedy.
