Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Queen Can Do No Wrong is a novel written by Herbert Compton and published in 1903. The story revolves around the early life of a young boy named Jimmy Rabbit, who grows up in a small English village. The title of the book refers to the legal principle that the monarch is immune from prosecution, which is known as the ""royal prerogative of mercy"".The novel is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of Jimmy's life. The first chapter introduces Jimmy and his family, including his father, who is a local magistrate, and his mother, who is a devout Christian. The subsequent chapters follow Jimmy as he navigates the challenges of growing up, including school, friendships, and romantic relationships.Throughout the book, Compton weaves in themes of morality and justice, as well as commentary on the British legal system and the monarchy. The title of the book is a reference to the idea that the queen is above the law, and Compton uses this concept to explore the limits of power and authority.Overall, The Queen Can Do No Wrong is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into the early 20th century English society and the complex relationship between law, morality, and power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
