• Murder, Mayhem and Morris Dancing

  OK, so I abandoned this blog, and moved to Blogger, where nothing much got done because life got in the way – Covid, family illness, eye problems, moving house. But I’m entitled to change my mind, and now I’m back trying to re-establish The Book Trunk and give it a new look. It’s a bit…
