The Uncommon Reader A Book by Alan Bennett What would happen if the Queen became a reader of taste and discernment rather than of Dick Francis The answer is a perfect story .. . The Uncommon Reader is none other than HM the Queen who drifts accidentally into reading when her corgis stray into a mobile library parked at Buckingham Palace. She reads widely JR Ackerley Jean Genet Ivy Compton Burnett and the classics and intelligently. Her reading naturally changes her world view and her relationship with people like the oleaginous prime minister and his repellent advisers. She comes to question the prescribed order of the world and loses patience with much that she has to do. In short her reading is subversive. The consequence is of course surprising mildly shocking and very funny. Product Details Hard Back Book with Jacket Cover Author Alan Bennett Genre Fiction Publisher Faber and Faber ISBN 9781846680496
