From the author of The History Boys and The Clothes They
Stood Up In
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.
