Mand - lovely to meet you. Very good answer for the GUD comp, BTW - Joseph and I were talking about forgotten books in the car on the way home. I’d like a volume containing all the letters that Charles Dickens burned.

Great to meet you both yesterday! Although i’d have loved to be at a reading, i was glad to avoid fighting through hordes of slavering fans. ;0)
Also v glad you hadn’t (quite) run out of Echoes.

You were asking about the GUD Magazine comp question and my winning answer. They asked ‘about one of the exotic, esoteric or simply banned books you’d hope to find in a hidden library’; the book I’d hide under my coat to bring out is the one Lucy read on the island of the voices in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader with its spell (among others) for knowing what your friends think about you (banned, as too dangerous for the likes of us). I have more ideas, which i’m saving to develop into something smallish.

I feel very lucky that GUD’s readers seem to be almost all across the Pond.

Enjoy the rest of your book tour!
