A Voyage Around the Queen 2024
A Voyage Around the Queen is a 2024 book about Queen Elizabeth II's life, authored by Craig Brown. It was released in the United States in the same year under the title Q: A Voyage Around the Queen. The Guardian’s Stephen Smith referred to it as “a crown jewel among royal biographies,” commending Brown’s skill in crafting vivid scenes and drawing on crowdsourced stories from courtiers and public figures. John Banville, also writing for The Guardian, called it “an engrossing, comprehensive and gloriously bizarre portrait of the late monarch,” noting Brown’s thorough research and lighthearted yet insightful approach. Clare McHugh from The Washington Post noted that while the author sometimes spends excessive time on individual topics, the book remains captivating, informative, and often hilarious. Dominic Green of The Wall Street Journal described it as “cleverly constructed, consistently insightful and hilarious.”
