About Me
- Nige
- Nige, who, like Mr Kenneth Horne, prefers to remain anonymous, was also a founder blogger of The Dabbler and a co-blogger on the Bryan Appleyard Thought Experiments blog. He is the sole blogger on this one, and his principal aim is to share various of life's pleasures. These tend to relate to books, art, poems, butterflies, birds, churches, music, walking, weather, drink, etc, with occasional references to the passing scene. His book, The Mother of Beauty: On the Golden Age of English Church Monuments, and Other Matters of Life and Death, is available on Amazon or direct from the author.
With great regret, I had to pass on a $3 used copy of They Came Like Swallows that I found in a used book store last week. The edges were splotched all over with what I suspected was mildew, something that always puts me off.
ReplyDeleteYes even I draw the line at mildew, Pete. They Came Like Swallows is available pretty cheap on Amazon Marketplace. Lord, that's a sad book...
ReplyDeleteI draw the line at mildew,
ReplyDeleteFungus, mould and lice.
It's true these things won't kill you,
But the books don't taste as nice.
