I’ve already bought The Haunted Wood, but hope many others will take you up on your offer🤞🏻
Very pleased you included one of the Moomin books, along with Astrid Lindgren’s books they were hugely popular in Poland in the Cold War era, and Polish people of my generation (Gen X) are much more familiar with them than my British friends.
Are you inviting votes on the Reynolds portrait of Johnson as your signature pic, Sam? Obv strong yes. I saw a youngster on this platform asking whether anyone could stand reading him (SJ) anymore. Balls to youngster, up with our neurotic hero!
I have bad news for myself, in that I have 'bad news' to break... The Dikotter book winning the 2011 award may have been not such a great choice, considering

But we might agree that the essential thing is to carry on, regardless of the 'missteps.'
Gosh. Thanks for that. Not something I knew about.
