Led by her yapping corgis to the Westminster travelling library outside Buckingham Palace, the Queen finds herself taking out a novel by Ivy Compton-Burnett. Duff read though it is, the following week her choice proves more enjoyable and awakens in Her Majesty a passion for reading so great that her public duties begin to suffer. And so, as she devours work by everyone from Hardy to Brookner to Proust to Beckett, her equerries conspire to bring the Queen's literary odyssey to a close.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
What would happen if the Queen suddenly discovered an all-consuming love for reading, to the extent that she started to neglect her royal duties? Alan Bennett is spot-on in this funny tale of the Queen's awakening to the joys of reading.
