Mrs Queen Takes the Train: A Novel

An absolute delight of a debut novel by William Kuhn author of Reading Jackie: Her Autobiography in Books Mrs Queen Takes the Train wittily imagines the kerfuffle that transpires when a bored Queen Elizabeth strolls out of the palace in search of a little fun, leaving behind a desperate team of courtiers who must find the missing Windsor before a national scandal erupts. Reminiscent of Alan Bennett s The Uncommon Reader, this lively, wonderfully inventive romp takes readers into the mind of the grand matriarch of Britain s Royal Family, bringing us an endearing runaway Queen Elizabeth on the town and leading us behind the Buckingham Palace walls and into the upstairs/downstairs spaces of England s monarchy.
