Alan Bennett reads from his short story, ‘The Uncommon Reader’, first published in the LRB in 2007, in which HM the Queen drifts accidentally into reading – and reading subversively at that – when her corgis stray into a mobile library parked at Buckingham Palace.
The reading was part of the LRB's 40th anniversary event at Conway Hall, London, on 7 October 2019. You can watch the full event here.
