The wedding may be over, but the fairy tale lives on. Actually, this short and sweet volume accents how down-to-earth and normal newlyweds Prince William and Kate Middleton really are. After a brief recap of the couple's engagement interview, the book goes on to profile the couple individually and then as a duo. Their personal challenges as well as the ups and downs of their relationship are covered before the book ends with the wedding day. Although the information here is generally available elsewhere, this is an upbeat, readable narrative about a handsome, appealing couple. The color photographs are well chosen, and there are even a couple candid shots that seem truly behind the scenes, such as the one of William cleaning toilets while volunteering in Chile. A time line, source notes, and a glossary are appended. --Booklist --Journal
