We all think we know everything there is to know about our Kings and Queens. Henry VIII had six wives, William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066 and Queen Victoria was “not amused”. But how much do we really know about the monarchy? What did our kings and queens actually achieve? What impact have they had on our everyday lives? What were they like as living, breathing, people?‘The Periodic Table of English Monarchs’ wipes away the cobwebs of fuddy-duddy facts and breathes new life into this surprisingly addictive aspect of history. It challenges our basic understanding of the subject by introducing readers to a colourful cast of characters and revealing little-known insights. This book reminds us that, behind the formality of the crown, are real human beings. Like you and me, they have known success, failure, sorrow and laughter. The lives of our kings and queens are so much more vivid than boring, old dates, figures and facts.
Darkness never shows its true colour until it's too late; it's all about the glittering and beautiful attractions. It's filled with many things and choices that are quite deceiving. It never appears in it's true colour, atleast at first. It wastes our time until it is too late; it takes us round and round till we sink deeper.
“With you, I don’t like it but love it, even if it means to live in a hell. Not that a child is a hell, but in our case, it would mean the world.”
“I would be a house wife and jobless,” I smile, opening my eyes.
“No man should say my wife doesn’t have a job. It’s impossible for a woman not to have one. She may not sit behind a desk or get paid but she deserves a reward for everything she has and does as a woman and a wife, or a mother. Her family is her job. She takes care of them; she worries about them all day and night. So how come I’d say my lady, my love and my wife doesn’t have a job? Not especially when you are there to share the pains and joys of life with me. You’re in charge of my life; I’m your job. I will worship you in every way possible and award you in as much as I can. You’re the boss of my life, my master and I your slave. I love you, Butterfly.”
“You mean, master Butterfly?” I smile big in delight. “My love lord, my wizard, I love you.” I stretch myself up and kiss him. “Get up now; you should be at work.” I get up and roll myself in the white sheet and walk to the closet to pick something for him to dress himself.
