I hope all of you who are going to Book Expo America have a lovely time! I myself am staying home and looking forward to Armchair BEA! It begins tomorrow, so it's not too late to join in the fun from the comfort of your own home!
For those who are house-hunting- the childhood home of Philipa Pearce, four miles outside Cambridge, is for sale; she used its garden as the setting for Tom's Midnight Garden. (Given the current owners' taste in interior decoration, it's not at all clear to me why they bought this lovely old house in the first place!).
