The Queen's Nose

The Queen's Nose is a fiction book by Dick King-Smith, about Harmony, a ten-year-old girl who is given a magical 50 pence piece which can grant wishes.

Harmony has a vivid imagination and "saw [people] in her mind with the ease of long practice as this or that mammal or bird or fish, even as an insect (her teacher was a female praying mantis). She drew well, and expressed this fancy by portraits where the head of the person surmounted the body of the chosen animal."

The Queen's Nose, illustrated by Jill Bennett, was "First published by Victor Gollancz Ltd 1983."
