Simply because of who they are, members of the Royal Family have always been highly quotable, from Queen Elizabeth I declaring that she had the heart of a king to the Prince of Wales confessing that he talks to his plants. This unique collection of royal wit and wisdom brings together many hundreds of gems, both sacred and profane, which have fallen from the lips and the pens of royalty, from Henry VIII to Prince William.

This two-way Luganda-English and English-Luganda dictionary, with over 10,000 Luganda and 8000 English entries, offers an easy guide to translating commoner words and concepts between the two languages. There are numerous examples of usage. The six-person team responsible for its compilation include a former Minister of Culture (Kingdom of Buganda) and the former Secretary of the Luganda Language Society. There are forewords by His Majesty the Kabaka (King) of Buganda and the Secretary of State for Education. Assistance is provided to readers to locate Luganda entries, necessary because of the changeable nature of the beginnings of many Luganda words. The equivalence of parts of speech in Luganda and English is explored and there are over 40 pages on Luganda grammar. Vocabulary associated with certain features of Kiganda society and culture is covered in extra detail, such as social structures, religion, music, agriculture, food, barkcloth manufacture, basketry, and healthcare and medicinal plants. There are lists of historic kings, traditional counties, and clans and totems. An outline of the history of the Luganda language is presented. The scientific names of over 300 types of plants are given, together with their Luganda equivalents. Book size: 254 x 178 mm (10 x 7 inches), 432 pages. Paperback.

This is a revised and retitled edition of a dictionary originally published in 2016, the new title more accurately reflecting the contents. The formatting of the headwords used for Luganda nouns and adverbs has been modified to make them easier to find and clearer explanations given of the equivalence of words and concepts in the two languages. This new edition has been approved by the National Curriculum Development Centre of Uganda for use at all levels of education. His Royal Highness Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II, the Kabaka of Bugagnda, writes in a foreword "It is with exceptional enthusiasm that I welcome [this] undoubtedly important book ..." and Oweek. Nankindu Prosperous, Minister for Social Services in the Kingdom of Buganda, comments "Professor Hamilton has bridged a very big gap in the acquisition of both Luganda and English in Uganda, and of Luganda in the rest of the world ... a full reference book providing up-to-date information. It is simple to use at all levels of learning." The dictionary contains over 9500 Luganda and 9000 English headwords, concentrating on commoner words in each of the languages, though, in the case of Luganda, also including words of special cultural significance. A Luganda grammar is included to indicate how to use Luganda words. Luganda is the most widely spoken of the 42 indigenous languages found in Uganda. It is the mother tongue of the approximately 7.4 million Baganda living in the country, probably the indigenous language most commonly used as a lingua franca and spoken by a sizable number of Baganda who have settled abroad. On the other hand, English is a global language and the required medium of instruction in schools in Uganda at all but the most elementary levels. The quality of cross-linguistic and cross-cultural understanding between English- and Luganda-speaking people in Uganda will be an important factor determining the course of the country's development.
