Enjoy daily distraction with this engaging Almanac. Each date is
assigned one or more literary connections. Book lovers will find
extracts from authors’ diaries and letters, chance upon the
narrative twists and transformative moments in their favourite
novels, discover the winners of prestigious awards and losers of
creative squabbles, and the delivery of manuscript, first
publication and performance. The book draws on the incredible
collections of the British Library to find new, surprising and
entertaining ways to celebrate every day of the year. Each month
opens with a list of significant births and closes with a selection
of pertinent last words, while entries roam across history from the
great classics to modern authors.
