Mrs. Queen Takes the Train / William Kuhn / 374 pages

Kuhn, biographer and historian, tries his hand at fiction and gives us a quaint little story of what the life of the elderly Queen Elizabeth might be like both in relation to her family, the government, and the populace of England.  Imagine a life of always doing everything you're told and never really understanding life outside palace walls.  In this story, the Queen is in a bit of a funk and decides what might make her happy is to see the decommissioned yacht Britannia where she had so many happy experiences so she manages to escape her handlers and take the train to Scotland.  All in all a little peek inside the life and thoughts of the royal family.
