jazzy_daveI first popped over to Faversham to sell some books and buy some pipe tobacco before my trip to the Sussex coast. For some reason or another, and more likely poor time keeping, I did not leave the village till one in the afternoon.
On my journey down, i got talking to an elderly gent who was reading a book i recognized. This was on the bus leaving Maidstone. The distinctive blue dust jacket read "Citizens" on the inside cover, and i knew straight away that it was the Simon Schama book on The French Revolution. I mentioned the fact that i have the same book in what i would term "must read" pile of books.
We then got talking about Charles Dickens, He mentioned a biography by Claire Tomalin on Dickens and recommended the book to me. Whilst in Tunbridge Wells, having a small latte at Pret, i decided to have a quick gander at some of the charity shop, and blow me, down , i found the said book in hardback at Age UK for £1.50 Serendipity strikes again, plus, it has to be bargain of the day!
