Prince Charles, King Abdullah II Both Land Book Deals

NEW YORK — Royalty is coming to bookstores.

England's Prince Charles is working on "Harmony," a call for balance between "Man and Nature" that HarperCollins has tentatively scheduled for next year, with a picture book version planned for 2011, the publisher announced Monday.

Meanwhile, Penguin Group (USA) will release a memoir in 2010 by Jordan's King Abdullah II. The book is called "The Last Best Chance: An Intimate Account of the Pursuit of Peace in a Time of Peril." In a statement Monday, Penguin called the book a "personal narrative rich with human drama" by "an active participant in major events."
