My Favourite Bookshelf
‘The Kalahari Typing School for Men’
There are now over twenty books in 'The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency' series. Here is one to start on!
‘Acqua Alta’
If you want to get to know Venice through the eyes of its most famous detective, read on!
‘Many Cargoes’
Montesquieu wrote "I have never known any distress that an hour's reading did not relieve." If you're reading W. W. Jacobs, reduce the time to five minutes.
The Jungle Books
Mowgli's survival in the jungle and Rikki-Tkki- Tavi's war against the cobras, Nag and Nagaina, are worth reading again and again.
The Road to Little Dribbling
Read this book. You may well add it to your favourite bookshelf.
A Little Light Weeding
Whether gardening or reading about gardening, do a little and often.
The Short Stories of Sherlock Holmes
This is the first book I come to on my favourite bookshelf. I think I will take it down this evening and remind myself of the diabolical plan of the Norwood builder.
