WHERE'S MA'AM? by MUICK THE QUEEN'S CORGI ILLUSTRATED BY MADELEINE FLOYD | Bedford Square Publishers |
2022 Britain’s longest reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, has died. Muick is the Queen’s favourite corgi - loyal, and loving, but with an occasional tendency to nip ankles. But now Muick can’t find his Queen. The courtiers won’t let him in the bedroom and the corgi handlers won’t explain what is happening. Why are all the family suddenly here?
In 1910 King Edward died. He was one of the most popular monarchs, almost as popular as Queen Elizabeth II. He had a dog called Caesar and they were devoted to each other. Caesar was bereft when the King died, and the dog appeared at King Edward’s funeral. Soon after the King’s death, a small book called Where’s Master? was published anonymously and written in the voice of Caesar. It starts with Caesar sadly looking for his master and the courtiers not telling him what was happening. Eventually, Caesar works out that the King has died; he is devastated, but in time and with the help of friends, overcomes his grief to look forward to another day. The book was a #1 bestseller, sold over 150,000 copies, and was reprinted 15 times, 6 before Christmas.
Muick takes us through his grief - all the way to the Queen’s funeral, and to a new life beyond.
Touching and hopeful, Where's Ma'am? is the story of the loss of a friendship like no other and the brave journey back to love and happiness. Meet the wonderful friends that help a small dog to overcome his biggest challenge. Where’s Ma’am? follows in the paw prints of the 1910 bestseller Where’s Master?
