Prince Philip was a man of many, many words. For almost eighty
years since he first entered the public's eye, Prince Philip had
been telling the world exactly what he thought of it. Over the
years, Prince Philip's quips and wisecracks have been labelled as
shocking and even outrageous, but at the root of this colourful
royal was a very funny man who seemingly never took life too
seriously. He was an icon of the royal family and a reminder of a
time when the world was a different place - and for that, we, the
Great British public, salute him. This tiny tome is a celebration
of his extraordinary life in the service of his subjects, as well
as a compilation of his best (and worst) one-liners, in his own
inimitable style. 'I rather doubt whether anyone has ever been
genuinely shocked by anything I have said.' Prince Philip, in an
interview, 1999. Smashing Fact No.1: Philip was 13 years old when
he met his future wife, Elizabeth. They were both attending the
wedding of Princess Marina of Greece and the Duke of Kent in 1934.
Elizabeth was eight at the time. The pair met again five years
later.
As much as there are differences in our cultures, traditions, and beliefs, there are more similarities between us all than we all realise. One of these similarities is our penchant to record age-old wisdom through generations. Proverbs From Around the World feature a grand collection of these passed down knowledge and witticisms from all continents - Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. In so doing, the book gives insight to the wonderful and rich cultures around the world and perhaps helping us all realise that ultimately we are one people.
