Product Information

By 'confused' I mean that readers may wonder if they are in fact reading Walliams, as well as being a little confused as the story progresses.

The leader of the free world didn't rank ahead of other royals: the Emperor and Empress of Japan were seated in the 6th row, behind European royals and the King of Jordan.
