Used. Hardcover. When Her Majesty’s mischievous corgis lead her straight to a mobile library parked at Buckingham Palace, England’s reigning monarch unexpectedly cracks open a delightfully dangerous new hobby. Alan Bennett’s brilliantly witty novella charts a sovereign's sudden descent into serious literature, transforming polite royal duties into a subtly subversive intellectual awakening. As the queen voraciously devours everything from gritty classics to modern masters, her freshly minted perspective begins to ruffle feathers among her prim prime minister and his panicked advisors. It is a wonderfully sharp, satirical send-up of stiff upper lips and the sheer, transforming power of the printed page. Grab a copy before this rogue reader revolutionizes the realm.
