This is definitely worth a read

By now, many people have seen the film with Colin Firth. If you haven’t, it is very much worth viewing.

This book is based on the research & family documents discovered by Mark Logue, grandson of Lionel Logue, King George VI’s speech “therapist.” It is the warm story of Logue’s life, his orgins in Australia, the close relationship with his wife, and finally, what turned out to be a long-term and caring relationship with the King of England.

Not much information is given on actual speech therapy techniques used, as the field was in its infancy and records weren’t kept.

Also included are actual recordings of a couple of the king’s speeches, interesting to listen to in the context of the story.

If you’re an Anglophile, which it seems I may be turning out to be, or you simply enjoyed the movie, you’ll want to pick up this book.
