About this listen

In this episode of his Summer Reading History Book Club, Charlie Higson discusses his favourite book about possibly the most famous person who has ever lived. Queen Elizabeth II.
Virginia Woolf compared her to a caterpillar; Anne Frank kept pictures of her on the wall of her annex and Donald Trump offended her; E.M. Forster confessed he would have married her, if only she had been a boy.
The book that uncovers these fascinating insights is A Voyage Around the Queen by the very clever and very funny Craig Brown and in this episode, Charlie and Craig talk about this and his other works.
