D E Stevenson, 2nd cousin of Robert Louis Stevenson sold 7 million copies of her 40 novels in her lifetime.Yes, more than he sold in his. Her father disapproved of her writing so she hid in the attic of their house in Edinburgh's West End to bash out her stories. Legend./2

Why has nobody done a TV drama of Georgette Heyer's detective stories? They re funny, dramatic and have great clothes. Case in point: No Wind of Blame, with Vicky dressing to suit a different persona every day (sometimes several times a day) clothesinbooks.blogspot.com/2026/09/clot...

'Coastal Defences.' Eric Ravilious painted this work in Newhaven, East Sussex in 1940; as a coastal town it was heavily fortified because of its targeting as part of Operation Sea Lion, the planned invasion of Britain by German forces.

Many many thanks for this fantastic review, Martin! 💚“There is an art to writing with such insouciance and when it is pulled off with aplomb, as is the case here, it is a wonder to behold. Great stuff!”

"Jubilee Trail" highly recommended - it’s ages old, but it has it all: adventure, emancipation, true grit. Plus, Dolly Parton would have been the perfect choice for the role of Florinda in a film adaptation. It’s hard not to give spoilers grrmphh.
