The Once
and Future King by T H White
As it’s a
sequence of novels we’d better go for the first one of this truly epic series
that are all based on Le Morte d’Arthur. So on offer is The Sword in the Stone -
not the Disney version.

memoir of a Lancashire childhood by a well know BBC radio and TV presenter.
Where the
Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
I can honestly
say this is the most original book I’ve read for a very long time. Set in the
coastal marshes of North Carolina, it’s a murder mystery, a most unusual coming
of age story and a lyrical celebration of nature all at the same time.
