The Uncommon Reader

In this hilarious and thought provoking novella, by award-winning playwright and author Alan Bennett, the Queen of England has just discovered the myriad joys and lessons of the mobile library that parks over by the palace. What's more she's sucking down books like it's going out of style and sharing every last twist and turn to any one who will listen. Told with all of the signature humor and effortlessly perfected craftsmanship that readers and theater goers have come to know and love, "The Uncommon Reader" is a remarkable and intelligent poke at the question: What would the world be like if our leaders stopped barking orders and started getting articulate? The answer is side-splitting at best.
