The book is read by Paul Boehmer, Susan Duerden, Rosalyn Landor, John Lee, and Juliet Mills --each one doing a different character with different accents. It's absolutely delicious. I'm on the lookout for a used copy of both the print and the audio to have for my "re-read again and again shelf."<br /><br />You're so write, letter writing may become a lost art, but I have several good writers in my family (my husband for the first) so we're trying to keep that up. I think that's why I hate Facebook and IMs etc---as you can see, I just can't truncate words or thoughts.<br /><br />Thanks for spotlighting another favorite.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164739473838041694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-53547809951315107352010-03-01T02:00:59.886+08:002010-03-01T02:00:59.886+08:00i have got to have this book! now na,i have got to have this book! now na,gegehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06091664711747546345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-1818930197933697372010-03-01T01:32:11.814+08:002010-03-01T01:32:11.814+08:00I absolutely adored this book.

There are certain similarities between it and Helen Hanff's 84 Charing Cross Road, which is also lovely but has to be read with The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street. <br /><br />I definitely thing that small book shops are on their way out, which is a shame, however, they cannot compete with the low prices offered by larger retailers and the internet. I must confess to buying the majority of mine from Amazon.serendipity_vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156013023056026525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-72719400052465262282010-03-01T00:00:08.567+08:002010-03-01T00:00:08.567+08:00I haven't read this book either.
