Description
The King's Speech: How One Man Saved the British Monarchy By Mark Logue and Peter Conradi, Penguin Group This is the previously untold story of Lionel Logue, an Australian speech therapist who single-handedly transformed the Duke of York into the man capable of becoming King. Logue's extraordinary relationship with Bertie, as he was known, has been drawn from his unpublished personal diaries. The intimate portrait that emerges reveals the vital role played by Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, in bringing the two men together to save her husband's reputation and career as King. This book offers a unique insight into the British monarchy at its greatest crisis, told through the eyes of an Australian commoner who was proud to serve and save his King. The story is one of remarkable friendship and loyalty, highlighting the extraordinary bond between Logue and Bertie, and the profound impact it had on the course of history.
