“I'm not saying all publishers have to be literary, but some interest in books would help.”
A.N. Wilson

Spike Milligan
“The die was cast. It was a proud day for the Milligan family as I was taken from the house. “I’m too young to go,” I screamed as Military Policemen dragged me from my pram, clutching a dummy. At Victoria Station the R.T.O. gave me a travel warrant, a white feather and a picture of Hitler marked “This is your enemy.” I searched every compartment, but he wasn’t on the train.”
Spike Milligan, Adolf Hitler: My Part in his Downfall

Keith Waterhouse
“Should not the Society of Indexers be know as Indexers, Society of, The?”
Keith Waterhouse

James Rebanks, The Shepherd's Life: Modern Dispatches from an Ancient Landscape
