Marilyn Herbert

3.7/5 ( ratings)

In Bennett’s majestic book, The Uncommon Reader, the Queen broadens her perspective by immersing herself into a never-ending world of words and ideas, fiction, non-fiction, memoirs and more. We meet the Queen as she finds a strange van in her driveway that turns out to be a traveling library. She enters and borrows a book. One book leads to another and the Queen discovers the joys of reading for pleasure. Come along with Bookclub-in-a-Box and find out more about the Queen as Alan Bennett imagines and uses her to explore the world of literacy. Bennett uses his customary warmth, humor, and visionary skill to outline the life of a royal celebrity, opening the door between the Queen and her subjects to allow the humanity and understanding of both to intermingle. Every Bookclub-in-a-Box discussion guide also includes complete coverage of the themes and symbols, writing style, and background information on the novel and the author.
