Description

An eccentric travelogue packed with intriguing literary tales and bookish curiosities. Learn why Thomas Hardy was buried twice, how a librarian in Manchester invented the thesaurus to cope with depression, what caused Dickens to leap out of bed and walk 30 miles from London to Kent, how a Welsh jellyfish saved Evelyn Waugh’s life and why Agatha Christie was investigated by MI5 during the Second World War. An entertaining romp through mainland Britain, which also takes in unusual writers' haunts and the surprising places that inspired some of our favourite fictional locations.
