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.
