Reviews
Review on Amazon: ""An American Corgi Goes to Balmoral is an entertaining children's book which perfectly combines historical information about the Balmoral Estate with the exhilaration of a quest for a lost character. One of the books greatest assets is the way it educates the reader about the provenance of monuments and memorials around the estate, while informing the reader about the working life on the estate. It is undoubtably the exceptional interactivity of the storytelling, seamlessly merging education with light-hearted fiction, which keeps the child eagerly wanting to flick to the next page.""
