We dont seem to get many people recommend a good book, surely there must be lot of readers out there,
my dad used to say "Books are silent companions", I wish I had a pound note for every book I have read
in my lifetime. When the war started quite a number of teachers joined the forces, and we had a retired
teacher who had been called back to replace them, Will Scarlett, in his cupboard he kept 12 canes, all
named like the twelve tribes of Israel, anyway we used to finish school at four o/clock, and at quarter to
to each day he would read a story. He was a big fan of John Buchan, he would read "39 Steps" and all
the others, this instilled a love of books which has never left me. Bernard
