Illustrated with more than 150 black-and-white and 27 color images, this chronicle by an expert maritime historian offers a rare and captivating blend of personal anecdotes, archival material, and impeccable scholarship.

A full-color record of the liner including images from her past and present, this is the definitive photographic souvenir of a perennially popular luxury liner. The beauty and elegance of Queen Elizabeth 2 is showcased for the first time in this luxurious paperback edition. It will appeal to a whole new generation of QE2 fans, as the book takes the reader on a journey through the liner's decks with full-color photographs of each public room as they are today and a special behind-the-scenes tour of the bridge, engine room, principal storerooms, crew areas, and other parts of the ship that passengers never saw, and the ship's guests are unlikely to have ever seen. From the unique perspective of two devoted QE2 fans who sailed aboard her during her service life, the book is filled with amusing and interesting anecdotal stories of the ship, her 40-year life at sea, and the various characters who have sailed aboard her.

The author has selected twenty-two stories which she hopes are the best from her bountiful collection. Some are based on incidents in her personal life or on issues reported in the media and the others are pure fiction. Beautifully written and full of humour, read about Stan and Irene's hilarious experience of emigrating to 'Fartie-something, just past Africa' (Brits Abroad) or the palaver involved in serving Lady Crockford-Browne her morning cup of tea (Early Morning Tea). Once you start the book, you won't be able to resist reading the next story and the next... The QE2 Lady & Other Stories will be followed by the publication of a novel and a novella both set between London and the West of Ireland, as well as Valerie's personal memoirs.

Bestselling mystery writer and amateur sleuth Jessica Fletcher is invited to travel to London on the grand dame of ocean liners, the Queen Elizabeth II, as one of seven guest lecturers. The night they set sail, a fellow speaker is found brutally murdered. Now Jessica has just four days at sea to find the killer...before she finds more of her colleagues, or even herself, dead in the water!

Written by a bestselling author this is the hilarious story of him having a nervous breakdown and running away around the world on the QE2! Unbelievable but absolutely true the author’s sensitive mental state gives him a different slant on world travel and the millionaires he mixes with. A truly different travel book which will have you laughing on every page. This is the true story of how the author cured a nervous breakdown by taking a world cruise on The Queen Elizabeth ll. It is a peep into the luxury lifestyle of the very rich from the somewhat sardonic viewpoint of someone who is not quite sane. We visit 40 countries and each one is treated to the author’s observations which are nearly always humorous and written by someone who’s fragile mental state causes him to throw all caution to the winds. But more than that, Nick isn’t your conventional world traveller: he gets arrested in New York and undergoes an intimate body search, he fights off three armed muggers in Jamaica, falls out with Australian customs officers, has a motor bike accident in Bali, is attacked by two old men in The Taj Mahal and is thrown out of Vietnam. The book, though, is more about his life aboard the QE2: his love affairs, his growing relationship with the staff and their intimate, closeted lifestyle, the disastrous staff concert that ends up in an all-out fight, the excesses of the super-rich passengers and the bizarre situations that only happen aboard such as the night where he is trapped on the dance floor with the three women he has been dating. All in all it is the story of a man making his way back to sanity until he is finally deposited back on the quay at Southampton where he started only now he is penniless and has just been informed that everything he owns in the world has been thrown overboard into the sea. The hilarious follow up is now available: Not Quite Sane in America, where Nick runs away to America to avoid his proctologist!
