To Visit the Queen

''To Visit the Queen'' (1998) (titled ''On Her Majesty's Wizardly Service'' in the UK edition) is a fantasy steampunk novel by Diane Duane.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bibliography: To Visit the Queen )〕 Its plot deals with the invention of nuclear weapons in Victorian Britain, thanks to the evil intervention of 'the lone one' and the efforts of Duane's wizard feline adventurers to save the day.
It was a sequel to ''The Book of Night with Moon'' (1997). In their review, Publishers Weekly said that "Duane presents her usual felicitous mix of magical high adventure and humor, avoiding much of the preciousness that can infect anthropomorphic fantasy. Even those who don't fancy felines should enjoy this purr of a tale." while Kirkus Reviews was somewhat less kind, criticising what it termed 'a slow start' and 'mind numbing details' in a book aimed squarely at the young adult market.
==Cultural reference==
The title ''To Visit the Queen'' is a cultural reference to the English rhyming poem known as "Pussy Cat Pussy Cat" that uses that line in the second line of the poem.〔I. Opie and P. Opie, ''The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes'' (Oxford University Press, 1951, 2nd edn., 1997), p. 357.〕
One element of the plot bears a similarity to Project A119.
