Humorous illustrations and story!

This is one of my personal favorite illustrated children's books. A very Victoria-like Queen decides to go to the seashore. With her go her page boy, lady-in-waiting, bodyguard, groom, doctor, palace guard, maids, footman, and butler. And of course, her five Welsh Corgi dogs. "But it was a long, long walk to the seaside, and on the way everyone got rather hot and silly." The cartoon drawings of the Corgis running in terror from an alley cat, fainting, and begging the butler for help are just hysterical! The Queen sternly calls everyone to order, sets things straight, rescues the Corgis, and marches everyone down to the seashore for a marvelous day.
