Her devotion to her adored corgis was one of the ways in which she connected to all children who also loved dogs. Here, the story of the Queen’s long life and reign is told through the special relationship she had with Susan, the first of her very own corgis, and with subsequent corgis who were by her side throughout her long reign. Lydia Corry’s corgis brim with life and love.
