The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett
A deliciously funny novella that celebrates the pleasure of
reading. When the Queen in pursuit of her wandering corgis stumbles upon a
mobile library she feels duty bound to borrow a book. Aided by Norman, a young
man from the palace kitchen who frequents the library, Bennett describes the
Queen's transformation as she discovers the liberating pleasures of the written
word. With the poignant and mischievous wit of The History Boys, England's best
loved author revels in the power of literature to change even the most uncommon
reader's life.
