What if Elizabeth II discovered a passion for reading and ended up putting books before her royal duties? Alan Bennett presents this comedy about the subversive power of reading: the queen takes to Henry James, the Brontë sisters and Jean Genet, while Buckingham Palace protocol suffers.

For book clubs and for those who enjoy literary satires and British humor, with a brief plot about the pleasure of reading.
