Books to Adopt

Kings and Queens (1932)

by Eleanor and Herbert Farjeon, Illustrated by Rosalind Thornycroft Return to list Adopt this book

This charming children’s classic tells the story of the forty-one English monarchs since William I. Each King and Queen is dedicated a humorous poem and colourful illustration. A perfect adoption for children of all ages.

I use the British Library often for research, but I LOVE adopting books as gifts for people. My most recent adoption was in honor of my English professor in college. I am not just a literary scholar because of her influence--I am also a better human being.

My daughter and I both love the ambiance of the British Library and feel proud to be Readers. Supporting the Adopt a Book scheme is the least I can do.
