Discovering the joy of reading widely ... and intelligently, she finds that her view of the world changes dramatically. Abetted in her newfound obsession by Norman, a young man from the royal kitchens, the Queen comes to question the prescribed order of the world and loses patience with the routines of her role as monarch. Her new passion for reading initially alarms the palace staff and soon leads to surprising and very funny consequences for the country at large."--Provided by publisher UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0714/2007926975-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0714/2007926975-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0801/2007926975-s.html ER -
