Description
When a chance encounter with a mobile library leads Queen Elizabeth II to borrow a book, her life takes an unexpected and profound turn. Encouraged by a young kitchen porter with a passion for literature, Her Majesty discovers the transformative power of reading, unlocking a world beyond the confines of royal duty. This charming novella explores the liberating joy of the written word and its ability to awaken curiosity and foster personal growth, even in the most unlikely of individuals. Alan Bennett's signature wit and keen observation bring to life a poignant and humorous tale about the unexpected pleasures that can be found in the most common of places.
