Really, really sweet story imagining HRH QE II getting turned on to the joys (and pitfalls) of Literature. Was a great palate-cleanser after reading some much heavier and more traumatic stuff lately.

Possibly one of the most boring books I have read in a long time. Hope this isn't on Queen Elizabeth's list or the author might be sued for slander.

A humorous little book that displays the power of books. I'd love to know how Alan Bennett came up with it, as it's a fascinating premise.

Sweet shorter book that zips along. Good writing, a great little ending and an enticing theme on the love of reading.
