  • A pleasant read but don't expect any scandal3

    Jennifer Saunders This slim volume is not in the nature of "what the butler saw" or indeed anything like it. I looked, in fact, at the endpapers (there are no acknowledgements which is odd in itself in such a book) to see if HM The Queen is said to have given her approval for publication of the book, for we all know what happened to poor old "Crawfie", governess to the little princesses, when she published a similar work in 1953. No actual mention is made of such approval but the author does refer to the Queen providing the author with her diary entries, made during the war, when she was relieved to hear that the author's brother - and her paternal cousin Viscount Lascelles - were "free and safe!" on their release as VIP prisoners of war. The gossip is pedestrian but interesting nonetheless and it is always interesting to read of Britain before the wars. My big complaint is about the appalling number of typographical errors. They begin with "Chrsitopehr" in the family tree facing page 1 and continue throughout. Is it too much too ask that SOMEONE read a book through before it is sent to print to pick out the mistakes? If I can see them, why can't the editor? by Jennifer Saunders
