King Charles (97) (Little People, BIG DREAMS)

Product Information

He was sent to boarding school in Scotland when he was eight to make him more independent. Note the tentative wave to the scowling boys.

And in 2022, when he became King, he pledged that he would spend the rest of his life serving his people with loyalty, respect and love. But when he decided to go to college and study history, he broke new ground, becoming the first royal to earn a degree. He spent time studying at a college in Wales, to learn about the Welsh and their language. Unfortunately, protestors marred his welcome. To escape them, he used to walk in the hills through the beautiful Welsh countryside. Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare , which broke records as the fastest-selling nonfiction book on its January release, has slipped to 117th in the charts, having sold 1,862 copies last week. During the coronation weekend, The London Dungeon, York Dungeon and Edinburgh Dungeon are offering free entry for the first 75 visitors who hand in a copy of Spare. The London attraction tweeted: “A noble gesture to help Spare the new monarch his blushes and clear London’s streets of all questionable literature.” The books will be distributed to charity shops.The nonfiction book, illustrated by Matt Hunt, is the first of the Little People, Big Dreams series to reach No 1. It sold 15,786 copies in the seven days to 29 April, overtaking Marian Keyes’ novel Again, Rachel, a sequel to romcom Rachel’s Holiday. The subject this time is King Charles, and the book tells of how he was thrust into the limelight at just 3 years old when his mother became Queen. It describes how after struggling with loneliness at boarding school, he then excelled at college, where he also got to explore his artistic side. While in college, he also developed a love for the outdoors and a deep appreciation of nature, and vowed to use his position to help protect these resources. The book also references the many good causes that he supports, and the charity work he has done down through the years prove the lives of young people, work that he intends to continue now that he has become King. The coronation is scheduled to take place between 11am and 1pm on Saturday. Sánchez Vegara’s King Charles is likely to stay around the top of the charts for the next couple of weeks, explains Stone, depending on when UK bookshops decide to swap out coronation-themed displays. “That’s probably when we will start to see sales slow down,” he said. Dus nu heb ik een King Charles boek in huis. En wat voor één!? Super leuk en mooi én boeiend. Echt, ik ben bijna (bijna) fan van Charles Phillip Arthur George geworden. Ik leerde dat hij zich inzet voor het milieu, biologisch eet en dat hij op zijn eenentwintigste al een toespraak hield in verband met de opwarming van de aarde. Allemaal dingen die me nauw aan het hart liggen. There are a lot of different dreams in that picture, and he has founded and supported countless charities since then.

He has also spent many years doing charity work and creating The Princes’s Trust which helps improve the lives of young people in the UK. Since becoming King in 2022, after his mother Elizabeth II died, he promised to continue his good work and loyally serve and respect his subjects for the rest of his life. Sadly, Diana died one year after their divorce, leaving a deep hole in the hearts of their two sons, William and Harry, and of the whole world.” My thanks to Quarto Group - Francis Lincoln Children’s Books for a temporary digital edition via NetGalley of ‘King Charles’ by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara with illustrations by Matt Hunt.

His grandmother encouraged his love for art, music and nature. His father sent him to boarding school as he wanted him to be among other boys. I guess, in a way, having normal childhood, not being surrounded just by royals – that is not explored in this story. After King Charles’ April publication, a Glasgow bookshop boycotted the Little People, Big Dreams series. Actor Samuel West tweeted “Kids, you too can be a King if you work hard enough. Adding this title to the Little People, Big Dreams stable certainly puts the achievements of Rosa Parks and Malala Yousafzai in perspective.” From the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of King Charles.
