Practically Perfect

In the palace, a very secret and important meeting is in progress. The Queen does not know about it – indeed, it is being held after her bedtime, and she does not suspect a thing. But where can the Ladies-in-Waiting find a suitable Prince … someone who is practically perfect? A funny, magical story of royal secrets, quarrels and romances from Hilary McKay, a Whitbread Award-winning author.
