Produktbeschreibung
Lionel Logue was a self-taught and almost unknown Australian speech therapist. Yet it was this outgoing, amiable man who almost single-handedly turned the nervous, tongue-tied Duke of York into one of Britain´s greatest kings after his brother, Edward VIII, abdicated in 1936 over his love for Mrs Simpson. The King´s Speech is the previously untold story of the remarkable relationship between Logue and the haunted future King George VI, written with Logue´s grandson and drawing exclusively from his grandfather Lionel´s diaries and archive. This is an astonishing insight into the House of Windsor at the time of its greatest crisis. Never before has there been such a portrait of the British monarchy seen through the eyes of an Australian commoner who was proud to serve, and save, his King.
