The Head That Wears A Crown is a captivating collection that features the Kings and Queens of the British Isles as you’ve never seen them before. Read Queen Victoria’s Twitter posts and young Elizabeth I’s letters to her father’s latest wife.

Intriguing, comical and accompanied by fascinating historical facts, these vibrant poems are a joy to read, bringing a long line of daring and devious monarchs to life.
