This is the first book in the series. I cannot say enough about this author. I was hooked before I left the the first paragraph. Absolutely a cross between James Herriott and Patrick Taylor. The writing is wonderful. I'm ready to pack my bags and leave for Yorkshire!

I am reading this book for the second time. I loaned my orginal copy out and it wasn't returned (this one I am keeping).
I have to say The Queen and I has GOT to be one of the funniest books I've (re) read in years. The Royal family is depicted in a bazaar, but strangly believable fashion. What fun, to see the Royal family squirm!
As always, the Queen Mum shows what "class" is all about.
I think anyone who has an interest in the Royal family would enjoy this book.
Delightful!

In true Alexander Mccall Smith's works, this 1st in series is just great. I am now involved in three of his series. All the characters are well defined, and easily believeable. Hats off to Alexander Mccall Smith!

I have just started this book (about 50 pages into it), and it has me hooked. When the book opens, the scene is set with a soldier writing his experiences from the battle field. i was afraid the book would revolve solely around the War Between the States battles. Ms Brooks has eased the book into the discovery of a make- shift hospital..The transition was effortless. I have several other of the author's books, and can't wait to read them.
