He's back and well on form for vol three.
My father, 83, was very tickled when I told him what I was reading (our weekly phone calls usually revolve around what we are reading). He said it was popular reading in his own dad's time. I said I thought i preferred it to Conan Doyle which he likened to preferring baked beans to porridge. Ha!

I think that's one of the benefits of e-books. Older books that are out of print and/or PD which would otherwise be forgotten by many get a new lease on life in the media. I mean some author's have always been in the public eye (like Dickens for example) but there are many who would be gathering dust on the shelves were it not for e-books.
