One man saved the British Royal Family in the first decades of the 20th century -
amazingly, he was an almost unknown, and certainly unqualified, speech therapist
called Lionel Logue, whom one newspaper in the 1930s famously dubbed 'The Quack
who saved a King'.

Logue wasn't a British aristocrat or even an Englishman - he was a commoner and
an Australian to boot. Nevertheless it was the outgoing, amiable Logue who single-
handedly turned the famously nervous, tongue-tied, Duke of York into the man who
was capable of becoming King. The King's Speech is the previously untold story of
the extraordinary relationship between Logue and the haunted young man who became
King George VI, drawn from Logue's unpublished personal diaries. They throw
extraordinary light on the intimacy of the two men - and the vital role the King's
wife, the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, played in bringing them together
to save her husband's reputation and his career as King.
