These are a bit of a mixture. At one end is that lovely romance "The Prisoner of Zenda", which is probably more famous as the 1952 film starring Stewart Granger. Then there are a few more classic crime about "The Saint", again probably more familiar from the TV. Not quite sure how the biography of Jane Austin got in on this shelf (written by her great nephew). At the other end is a book which my mother found for me at a jumble sale when she was on holiday at the other end of the country. It was printed in 1938 and is a survey of my home town. It is a fascinating description of the history, botany, landscape, agrictulture, town planning, religion, transport, recreation and local services. All in all a treasure trove of local history.
