This sly novella celebrates both the pleasures and the perils of reading. When the Queen stumbles upon a mobile library, she feels obligated to borrow a book. And then several more. Her reading changes her world view, to the displeasure ofthe prime minister and his repellent advisers. "Bennett's narration is every bit as delicious as his wit. Listeners will have a field day with this droll peek into alleged palace reading practices. An absolute delight!"—AudioFile
