Queen Salote of Tonga
Queen Salote of Tonga: The Story of an Era 1900-1965 | Elizabeth Wood-Ellem
1 post | 1 to read
When Queen Salote of Tonga attended the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in London in 1953, she was greeted as the tallest queen of the smallest kingdom and gained universal admiration for her natural dignity and the warmth of her personality. This account of Queen Salote's life and times is more than a biography, for it also describes the politics and social structure of a small kingdom that was a world in microcosm.

Planning for next month‘s #readaroundtheworld #Tonga. Or maybe not.

Some months are difficult because I‘m chaotic. Some months are simply difficult!
