When Sir Keir Starmer visited Donald Trump in the White House and produced a letter from King Charles inviting the president for a second state visit, it was a gesture that spoke volumes about the continuing importance of the monarchy for Britain''s international relations. It was also a vivid illustration of the relationship between Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street.Power and the Palace lifts the lid on the mysterious power dynamic at the heart of the British state: the secretive and little understood relationship between the monarchy and the government. In vivid, page-turning prose, Valentine Low examines the extraordinary political life of Queen Victoria, who exerted her will in a way that no monarch has done since, the effect that had on her son Edward VII, and the turbulent and fascinating political times of George V. We are taken behind the scenes of the wartime meetings between George VI and Winston Churchill (the origin of the weekly audience) and discover how Elizabeth II played a crucial role in modernising - and saving - the monarchy.At the heart of the book are the famous meetings between sovereign and prime minister. Low shows how, from Victoria and Benjamin Disraeli to Elizabeth II and Margaret Thatcher, personal chemistry proved just as important as the constitutional relationship.Based on nearly 100 interviews with senior politicians, top civil servants, royal aides and constitutional experts, Power and the Palace rewrites our understanding of the political power of the monarchy.

The Argonauts are the greatest heroes in Greek mythology—brave, forthright, and selfless! Or ARE they? Dive into this funny, action-packed adventure and discover the real heroes: the monsters. Created by NYT bestselling author Joshua Pruett (Last Comics on Earth) and perfect for fans of superheroes and endless jokes.Gyro and the Argonauts tells the totally (mostly) true story of the first “Greek Geek,” a super fanboy vineyard grape-squisher named Gyro (like the sandwich), who learns there's so much more to the maligned monsters of mythology (such as the CYCLOPS, the MINOTAUR, and even MEDUSA herself), and so much less to his favorite heroes (including Perseus, Heracles, and Pegasus) than he ever dreamed. All this happens when he joins the crew of the intrepid Argonauts and learns to never meet your heroes (think: The Avengers, if the Avengers were all buttheads). This side-splitting, voice-driven, and SUPER OUTRAGEOUS series follows Gyro (pronounced hee-roh) on his journey to become a hero. In addition to fun, pertinent, and timeless themes, readers will also learn fascinating facts from Greek and Roman mythology (like the fact that Bellerophon, not Perseus, rode Pegasus the flying horse—and no, dear reader, we didn’t know that, either!). With bestselling author Joshua Pruett's hilarious and heartwarming prose, cover illustration by Annie Award-winning storyboard artist and character designer Anthony Holden (Spider-Man: Across the Universe and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, among many more), and beautifully illustrated chapter headers by renowned comic artist Amanda Castillo (Mapmakers and the Flickering Fortress), this series starter is set to be a riotous and thrilling ride aboard the Argo. Where The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy meets Clash of the Titans, and probably in between some slices of pita, you’ll find Gyro and the Argonauts!“With big laughs, big heart, and big monsters, Gyro and the Argonauts is timeless fun for everyone!” – Max Brallier, sandwich expert and author of the #1 New York Times bestselling series The Last Kids on Earth“Gyro and the Argonauts is a hilarious, adventurous, and nail-biting twist on Greek mythology tropes with a well-developed cast of zany characters ...
