Did Queen Victoria Have a German Accent?
()
About this ebook
Writer and journalist Richard Milton has been blogging for more than twenty years. The many articles in this book are those that have attracted many thousands of online readers. Says Richard, 'I’m astounded to discover that so many people, like me, are keen to know whether Queen Victoria had a German accent. I would never have guessed that so many shared the same idle curiosity about something so inconsequential. One of the most unexpected outcomes of the internet is that it unites people of every country in their thirst for the fascinatingly trivial.'
The book contains more than 80 articles covering areas as diverse as Book reviews, Film reviews, On Writing, Science and Technology, War and Peace, Politics, Society, Paranormal Phenomena and what Milton calls "Other Burning Questions."
The wonderfully diverse subjects are handled with wit, humour, erudition and a distinctly non-conformist standpoint that verges on anarchy.
