    About this book one can only say: very funny and entertaining! It's about a very uncommon reader, the Queen, who one day discovers the pleasure of reading. She discovers that reading opens the gates to very different worlds, makes you learn so much about authors, persons and their lives that would be very difficult to discover even by knowing them personally (which she does in most of the cases). There are also the well known games among the private secretaries of both the Queen and the Prime Minister, who can't stand this new "passion" of hers, it's no hobby (like she says, the Queen can't afford to have a hobby). So she has to fight these subtle manoevres to holding her far from books. But what if books are not enough? What if she feels the duty of writing? This could be even more dangerous. The end is unpredictable and very funny. A book to read!

    Su questo libro posso solo dire che è divertente, ma tanto! Parla di un lettore non comune e cioè della regina del Regno Unito che si accorge un giorno, per caso, che leggere è un balsamo di vita. Che leggere significa esplorare mondi, che non si avrebbe mai modo di visitare "realmente", conoscere autori, persone, le loro vite più profondamente che se li si conoscesse di persona (e lei questo lo può giudicare, visto che tanti li conosce sul serio di persona). Non mancano poi i soliti giochini di potere nella corte, che non vede di buon occhio questa nuova "passione", perchè, come dice lei stessa, un hobby non se lo può permettere, i cui "servitori" sembrano continuamente volerle mettere i bastoni tra le ruote. E se non bastasse? Se lei sentisse il dovere di scrivere? Questo potrebbe essere ancora più pericoloso! Un finale altrettanto originale e a sorpresa. Insomma da leggere!
