The Queen and Mr Dukes : 1
by Katie Penryn
These four tongue-in-cheek stories take place in the make-believe island of Mazita, off the Kenyan coast in the sixties. Our diffident hero, Bob Dukes, is a novice single parent of three adventurous young children, and newly appointed aide to the Governor of Mazita. Overwhelmed by the conflicting tasks of keeping both his children and his boss happy, he turns for help to his mentor, the Queen.
