Today is Queen Elizabeth II’s 91st birthday. To celebrate the longest reigning monarch in British history, CBC Books compiled a list of a dozen nonfiction, fiction and children's books that feature Elizabeth and document her extraordinary life: http://www.cbc.ca/books/2017/02/12-books-to-celebrate-queen-elizabeth-ii.html.
The only
book on that list with which I am familiar is The Uncommon Reader by Alan
Bennett which imagines the queen’s literary odyssey. One of the highlights of the novella is the
observations about literature and reading.
I featured my favourites in an earlier blog entry: http://schatjesshelves.blogspot.ca/2015/09/queen-elizabeth-iis-literary-odyssey.html.
Happy
birthday, Your Majesty!
