Publisher's Synopsis

A history of royal families of the world from the perception of their pets, including the Empress Josephine's love of dogs which went so far as to provide her pugs with a maid and to spend an estimated 568 francs on their daily running costs and a black slave who complained in 1710 that his lady's parrot was as much esteemed by her as he was.
