I’m nearly at the end of Little Dorrit, following a friend’s suggestion, and am strictly rationing the remaining episodes as I don’t want to say goodbye to the characters. Claire Foy makes Amy’s goodness charming rather than wet (such a problem with Dickens’ Nice Girls), and Tom Courtenay makes my fingers itch to slap her father - or perhaps tweak his nose as being a more Dickensian insult. Great list, Arthur, I hope your Christmas has (many) moments of joy.

what a list of see/do!......bit off grid here but Netflix....do you have this in Brit-ville?... just put out the first season of Garcia Márquez 100 Years of Solitude.......some of the magical breaks away from the realism to make its points.....worth a view......capitalism's big holiday is upon us....let's read, watch and avoid......

I have read several books about the Mitfords, after dining at the Swan in Swinbrook. My favorite is Debo. I shall be watching the video.❤
