description: "Dear Anastasia, Because I am buying a new motorcycle, I won't need my old car anymore. I would like you to have it as a present. It's parked outside. Here are the keys. With love, Your Uncle Cosmo."Thus begins Mrs. Armitage's exciting road adventure. There are many surprises along the way until all that is left is Mrs. Armitage, her faithful dog Breakspear, and the bare frame of the car.But the ever-resourceful Mrs. Armitage remains undaunted. And when she finally meets up with her uncle and his motorcycle cronies, Mrs. Armitage is rightfully honored as the Queen of the Road.From best-selling author-illustrator Quentin Blake—Children's Laureate of the United Kingdom and winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal—comes this charming story of an indomitable and charmingly off-beat woman who finds liberation and new friends out on the open road.
