- The Hobbit. Particularly goes down well with the smaller magical species. They get fed up with heroes always been tall, dark and handsome and feel there is room for the small, light and frankly at times ugly. Incidentally they are pleased the hobbits are NOT ugly and feel hairy feet should not be under-estimated. (Great way of keeping the feet warm!).
- Watership Down. Anthromorphic tales generally go down well in the magical realm.
- Pride and Prejudice. Not widely known, this is one of the Queen's favourites. She is partial to "light romance" - in fiction anyway. Her Council wish she'd get on with the business of finding someone suitable to marry and produce heirs. In the meantime, Roxannadrell happily sticks to reading about Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy.
