Synopsis

Queens have two birthdays, one on the day they were born and one on the day it would have been most convenient for them to have been born on. It is the convenient one that counts.

This Queen is not a happy little Queen. It's her unofficial birthday and no one had brought her a present. Not the Prime Minister, not the Treasurer, and not even her lazy Ladies-in-Waiting. All she wants is one small, one very cheap, present. Just because it has four legs and a tail and isn't very easy to wrap up. Shouldn't put anyone off...

Media Reviews
Everything is lively about this book, including its genuinely touching conclusion. * THE INDEPENDENT *
'Finding its place in a rather neglected area of childrne's fiction, Hilary McKay pitches the tone just right with a tale that is both funning and touching.' - The Guardian, 28th Nov 2001 * The Guardian *
Fizzes and sings its way off the page. Delicious to read. * MAIL ON SUNDAY *
Hilary McKay excels in conveying the anarchic bedlam of family life, and she has excelled herself in her marvellous novel, Saffy's Angel which deserves to be placed alongside such classics as Little Women and The Railway Children. * TES Primary *
