Uncommon Reader, The by Alan Bennett |
In this brilliantly humorous little book the author imagines how the Queen, on a search for her dogs, comes upon the local travelling library parked outside the Palace kitchens. She gets into conversation with the librarian and Norman, kitchen skiffy and keen borrower. The Queen borrows a book, becomes an obsessive reader and, with Norman's help, devotes all possible time between and during her duties, to this new interest. One hilarious episode after another.
