At the end (almost) of a busy week, I thought I’d share books for the professions. Some of these may have
been edited a little!
Plumbers - Leak House, David Copperpipe.
Lawyers - Pride and (Without) Prejudice
Postmen - Going Postal (no editing there!) and any of the old penny dreadfuls though for these good people they would naturally become the old penny blacks!
Tree Surgeons - Wind in the Willows (also a good one for weather forecasters), The (tree) House on Pooh Corner.
Writers - The War of the Words, James and the Giant Pen
Interior Decorators - Curtain (Agatha Christie’s last Poirot novel).
Dentists - White Teeth (what else?!).
I’m very fond of I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue, which is on Radio 4, where the panellists will often have to come up with books or film titles for a specific profession. All good fun.
Hope you enjoyed these and do send in your suggestions for suitable books for certain jobs.
