Meet the Pallisers

I saw The Rocky Horror Show at a theatre in the King’s Road (possibly The Royal Court) in the 1970s and was taken by surprise when the audience were mostly in costume and participated in the show – I remember lots of rice being chucked in a wedding scene.

You Know Who

As a child I don’t think I counted my blessings; I did curse curse my afflictions, like wet Sunday afternoons at prep school.

Stone Soup

Recently I recommended a detective novel written by AA Milne, especially as it’s not his genre.

Le Stopgap

Friends sent me these flowers as a thank you for having them to lunch.

The Frisian Islands, an archipelago off the coasts of Holland, Germany and Denmark are famous for their shifting sands; an impediment to navigation but an inspiration for Riddle of the Sands.

What Ho, Haggis

This is the first edition of the first book by Clarissa Dickson Wright, published in 1996 when she was thirty-nine.
