When he wrote 'A Tale of Two Cities' he published simultaneously in The Bicester Times and The Worcester Times.... Boom Boom!

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it; that makes two of us!
DeleteI’ve never taken to Dickens
ReplyDeleteI think I've read most of them, but I did recently hear a short story on Radio 4 extra called 'A Christmas Tree' which I'd not come across before. I'm sure you would have enjoyed it.
DeleteThat's a good joke. I have a copy of A Tale of Two Cities, also a copy of Great Expectations. I should read them once more before I give them away. I'm culling the bookshelves.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved A Tale of Two Cities; such a good story.
