The King's Speech: How one man saved the British Monarchy |
with Peter Conrad If you've seen the hugely successful film, you won't need any introduction to Lionel Logue, the Australian speech therapist - without any formal qualifications - who arrived in England with his young family in 1924, set himself up in Harley Street and helped the future George VI to conquer the worst effects of his stammer. Now read this fascinating and moving book based on his diaries which fills in many of the gaps not covered in the film. (James Baker - bwl 60 Spring 2011) |
