THE UNCOMMON READER - ALAN BENNETT KARTONIERT (TB)

Alan Bennett's classic story about Queen Elizabeth II   What would happen if the Queen became a
reader of taste and discernment rather than of Dick Francis? The answer is a perfect story. 
The Uncommon Reader is none other than HM the Queen who drifts accidentally into reading when
her corgis stray into a mobile library parked at Buckingham Palace. She reads widely (JR
Ackerley  Jean Genet  Ivy Compton Burnett and the classics) and intelligently. Her reading
naturally changes her world view and her relationship with people like the oleaginous prime
minister and his repellent advisers. She comes to question the prescribed order of the world
and loses patience with much that she has to do. In short  her reading is subversive. The
consequence is  of course  surprising  mildly shocking and very funny.
