Regal Beagle

About the Book

Regal Beagle by Vijay Khurana, illustrated by Simon Greiner, is a humorous children's adventure about Lucy, a beloved beagle who unexpectedly becomes the queen of a small kingdom. When the Queen dies without leaving an heir, the royal scrolls reveal that her best friend must take the throne — and that best friend happens to be a dog.

A Royal Adventure with Lucy

Lucy is unsure about becoming queen, but the situation changes when Lord Runcible decides that he should have the throne for himself. As Lucy begins her unexpected reign, she faces a series of unusual challenges, including a suspicious flea infestation, a dog-napping and a dangerous dip in the river.

The story combines humour, adventure and a classic battle between good and evil, while following Lucy as she tries to prove that a beagle can be a worthy royal leader.
