In the small amount I did sleep last night, I dreamt about buying Spike Milligan’s war memoirs, most of which I read when I was a teenager. It being #WorldBookDay and all, I think I will buy one of the books, from an indie source.
Ok I bought all seven of them second-hand from Oxfam, which is not exactly helping indie booksellers but nor is it Amazon. I will remember that I owe my local bookshop a favour.
I did look at Bookshop.org for the Milligan books but I felt they cost too much, £11 for each paperback. I got the lot for 25 nicker instead.
In reality the kids were not asked to come in wearing costume this year, just to dress cosy. I think there has been a bit of pushback against the World Book Day fancy dress thing due to cost for parents. Anyway, seems to have been a good day for them. My daughter recited some funny poems for her class.
