For this, the thirty-second Second-Hand Book Factory, Charles Adrian interviews his father, Roland Gillott, on board the narrow boat Dream Weaver. Bobbing gently, moored to a towpath somewhere along the Kennet and Avon Canal, they discuss the coming anniversary of the First World War, the cheering optimism of Katie Melua and a thrilling piece of family publishing history. The picture used for this podcast is taken from the first edition of The Biography Of A Locamotive and not from the facsimile edition, which has a dirty-looking, shiny, marbled, beige design.
Books included in this show are:
'My Dear, I Wanted To Tell You' by Louisa Young
'The Best Of Rumpole' by John Mortimer
'The Biography Of A Locomotive' by Henry Frith
