I read his books when I was in my teens and twenties, and really enjoyed them. I'll have to get back to them at some point!Gentle Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102364083044797155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-74829097873004769582008-09-03T16:28:00.000-07:002008-09-03T16:28:00.000-07:00Provided those lines met at a junction and she was...<I>Provided those lines met at a junction and she was the stationmaster</I> -- that sounds like me (yeah, a minor control freak). What a great line!

I've heard about this one, though, and it's quite tempting to give it a go. I do love traditional comic novels in this style.litlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952927245186474480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-91817214724628225902008-09-03T00:31:00.000-07:002008-09-03T00:31:00.000-07:00Somehow I've missed out on the Benson books and de...Somehow I've missed out on the Benson books and definitely ought to do something about that. I suppose they would be no point in reading this without having first read the original, so off to the library site - again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
