Can you imagine the 'real' stories the Queen could tell if she DID write her memoirs? I liked Norman, too. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-16501384568720077602011-04-03T09:14:59.088-04:002011-04-03T09:14:59.088-04:00Mystica: Yes.

Sadly, my acquaintance with him is through the films of "The Madness of King George" and "The History Boys." I shouldn't say "sadly," because they were excellent films, but I expect I'm missing something by not reading the orginial plays.Carolhttp://www.carolkcarr.comnoreply@blogger.com
