So we coloured in Helene Hanff’s dog - of course it had to be yellow (in honour of the New York taxi cab, Playbill booklets and the starry lights of Broadway, where this book is set). #underfootinshowbusiness #booksky 💛🌟🚖📒

“Once upon a time in Central Park, there was a garden. It was perched on a small hilltop and reached by high stone steps. It had flower beds blooming in spring, summer and autumn,
and a famous mulberry tree; and it was called the
Shakespeare Garden.”
- Helene Hanff, Letter from New York

I was in #Whitby for the Literary Festival + visited the archives in the local museum to research the writer #StormJameson who we will republish next year. This ghoulish dried human hand (on display in the museum) points the way through the town. One can see why Bram Stoker’s #Dracula was set here!

Turns out the cat is mad keen for French novelists - in graphic novel format. I’m preparing for the forthcoming publication of the #GeorgeSand biography by @fionasampson.bsky.social - dear 💙📚#booksky readers - which book should I read first of this totally mesmerising 19th-century writer?

Pretty much the exact view Mary Shelley would have had of Jacob's Ladder on the facade of Bath Abbey from her window as she wrote chapter 4 of #Frankenstein in 1816. Note the stone angels ascending and descending... @realgdt.bsky.social we can’t wait to see this played out on screen too! 💙📚#booksky
