From the publisher: From one of England’s most celebrated writers, a funny and superbly observed novella about the Queen of England and the subversive power of reading.

Favorite review: “Alan Bennett is one of the greatest comic writers alive, and The Uncommon Reader is Bennett at his best--touching, thoughtful, hilarious, and exquisite in its observations.” —Helen Fielding, author of Bridget Jones's Diary
