Kongehusets egen julekalender, der viser hidtil usete sider af de danske slotte. Klip nisserne ud og hæng dem på juletræet.”I en skuffe på Hendes Majestæt Dronningens modtagelsesværelse på Amalienborg ligger et særligt kort. Det er Nissernes danmarkskort, hvorpå seks røde krydser viser, hvor julestemning findes, hvis den af en eller anden årsag ikke opstår af sig selv i december. Kortet vogtes af Dronningens lille nissefamilie, og heldigvis er det mange år siden, at nisserne har været nødt til at tage kortet i brug. Også i år finder Dronningen kortet og nisserne frem, når kalenderen tager hul på den tolvte måned. Men i år er der noget, som ikke er, som det plejer at være …”Således begynder Kongehusets julekalender, hvori læseren kommer vidt omkring på en række af de kongelige danske slotte – og oplever meget mere, end hvad øjet umiddelbart kan se.Undervejs besøger fortællingens nisser bl.a. snedkerværkstedet på Amalienborg, Hendes Majestæt Dronningens garageanlæg, Dronning Ingrids gamle hattedepot, Christian den 10.’s billardrum, Prins Henriks skrivebord, Kongeskibet Dannebrog, er et smut forbi Holger Danske og får et kig i Dronning Alexandrines gamle kikkert. Nisserne danmarkskort er lavet i samarbejde med Hendes Majestæt Dronningen, der også har skabt historiens fire nissefigurer – som læseren selv kan klippe ud efter de skabeloner, Dronningen har tegnet.Bogen er rigt illustreret med en lang række fotografier fra Kongehusets egne gemakker og arkiver samt stemningsfulde illustrationer af Peter Bay Alexandersen.

1000 års spændende Danmarkshistorie.Her er bogen til hele familien, om de over 50 regerende konger og dronninger Danmark har haft fra vikingetiden til i dag.Få historien om Gorm den Gamle, kongerækkens stamfar. Hør om den barske vikingekonge Sven Tveskæg og mød byggekongen Christian 4. Og få samtidig historien om Tyge Brahe, grevinde Danner, de to jellingsten, heksebrændinger, Dannevirke, Dyveke, Danmarks grundlov, blodbadet i Stockholm, dronning Caroline Mathilde, Struensee og barnekongen Oluf - helt frem til Margrethe 2.  - vores egen dronning.Og hvis du vil vide mere eller har glemt, hvad fx. runer, reformationen, pest eller skærsilden er, så er der ordforklaringer og et minileksikon med alle navne bag i bogen.

For adskillige hundrede år siden, da Nissefar var en ung Kongehusnisse aftalte han med en juleengel, at han roligt kunne sove hele året med undtagelse af december, så længe han holdt styr på Kongerækken og Kongehusets historie. Det gik fint de første mange år, men på det seneste har Nissefar kun tænkt på at sprede juleglæde på de kongelige slotte og har glemt alt om Kongerækken – han har sågar glemt at fortælle sine børn om de mange, der har siddet på tronen i Danmark, inden Hendes Majestæt Dronning Margrethe II besteg tronen i 1972. Det bliver en travl december for nissefamilien!Omdrejningspunktet for fortællingen er en oplevelsesrejse gennem den danske kongerække, hvor nisserne i følgeskab af en juleengel støder på spor, som danske konger og dronninger gennem mere end 1000 år har efterladt sig. Juleeventyret bringer dermed fortællinger om nogle af de mange majestæter, som har siddet på den danske trone forud for Dronningen, og således markerer julekalenderens tema samtidig, at Dronningen i 2022 har haft 50-års Regeringsjubilæum.Nissefars julerejse gennem kongerækken er lavet i samarbejde med Hendes Majestæt Dronningen, der også har skabt historiens nissefigurer – som læseren selv kan klippe ud efter de skabeloner, Dronningen har tegnet.Bogen er rigt illustreret med en lang række fotografier fra Kongehusets egne gemakker og arkiver samt stemningsfulde illustrationer af Peter Bay Alexandersen.
