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 Queenβs transformation as she discovers the liberating pleasures of the written word. With the poignant and mischievous wit of The History Boys, Englandβs best loved author revels in the power of literature to change even the most uncommon readerβs life.
