I might save Jingle's dog story for the 7th but for now, here he is with another piece of fiction, duly noted down by Pickwick.
'Terrible place - dangerous work - other day - five children - mother - tall lady, eating sandwiches - forgot the arch - crash - knock - children look round - mother's head off - sandwich in her hand - no mouth to put it in - head of a family off - shocking, shocking!'
Pickwick Papers.
Narrow fronted but surprisingly large shop in Moreton-in-Marsh High Street with comprehensive stock of (mostly) remainders and other reasonably priced books. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere with a little eccentricity. Two old duffers, Tony and David, who have a remarkable similarity to Minnie Bannister and Henry Crun, own it. Nina does her best to run it - despite their hindrance. Child, dog and gorilla friendly - we'll even put up with adults. Tel.01608 652666 / mail. cotsbookstore@tiscali.co.uk
