Penguins FTW
I just took a wee sanity break and wandered over to the book shop across the street. I see there is now a whole series of Penguins of what might loosely be described as "guilty pleasure" reads of the late 19th and early 20th century with wonderfully retro covers. There is Rider Haggard and Conan-Doyle, Erskine Childers and John Buchan, Anthony Hope and Bram Stoker. There are probably lots more. I was impressed.
Being me though I came away with Robert Hutchinson's bio of Sir Francis Walsingham though I was sorely tempted by a bio of Edward VI.
