Professor Reginald Nelson Thackery is having a very bad day.
His loyal secretary of many years, Mrs. Finnibottoms, has informed him that his book on the history of the greatest English monarchs has been printed without the chapter on Her Majesty the Queen.
The book is due out today, and a copy has been sent to Buckingham Palace.
Thackery fears the Queen will consider his leaving her out of the book as a major affront. And he will be the laughing stock of the entire university.
Facing imminent professional ruin, and seeing his hopes for a long-sought-after knighthood dashed, a desperate Thackery is willing to try anything. Including turning to a mischievous Indian demon with a cruel sense of humor for help.
The omission of Her Majesty's History is a laugh-out-loud fantasy short story for anglophiles and people who like to laugh.
