So, for World Book Day I decided to go for Alan Bennett's latest (released today 7th March) The Shielding of Mrs Forbes. I love Alan Bennett, and find his humour very much like mine, dark! I first discovered him back in the '80s when he did Talking Heads. If you have never heard of them,… Continue reading World Book Day…
