Comment on My Gay Top Ten by Lesley Cookman

Just realised from this I could have done a top ten, too! Lots there I’ve read – possess, even. I am a Camera overlooked so often. I remember when Cabaret first came to the London stage (with the incomparable Judi Dench) thinking “That’s awfully like…” and being staggered when I found out it actually was. (Yes, I’m that old.)

Nice list.

Just ordered a copy of The Lights of Manchester from ebay (£2.48!)

There’s also a signed copy for sale on there if you’re quick.

Well said. There´s been too much ´sour grapes´ by certain people. Do the Oscars committee have to explain why Toy Story 3 didnºt get nominated for Best Film?

PS Jane, I’m still using your RNA conference pen!

And of course, possibly the most famous, “The Moonspinners”, made into a film with Peter McEnery, Sheila Hancock, Hayley Mills, John Le Mesurier and more. Turned me onto Mary Stewart, whom I then read for ever more – even the Arthur novels!

Well said. I’ll gird my loins for a GC blog, perhaps.

Thanks Jane! I’ll look out for the horse-who-isn’t-quite!

Stephen: I know that Wordsworth reprint series well. I’m out of date with them, though. I was so pleased when they brought back Dennis Wheatley.

Wordsworth Press do a series reprinting ghost and horror fiction from the Victorian and Edwardian era. There are some good single author collections as well as some anthologies. They are a modest £2.99 in price and are worth seeking out.

I would recommend ‘Airs above the Ground’, about a horse which is not what it appears to be. Well, it is, it’s a horse, but..ah. Good book.
