A Time Of Gifts in the Bookshop

A Time Of Gifts by Patrick Leigh Fermor

"I found my mind wandering at games; loved boxing and was good at it; and in summer, having chosen rowing instead of cricket, lay peacefully by the Stour, well upstream of the rhythmic creaking and the exhortation, reading Lily Christine and Gibbon and gossiping with kindred lotus-eaters under the willow-branches." - Patrick Leigh Fermor, A Time of Gifts

The Writer's Journey by Christopher Vogler

"An effective story grabs your gut, tightens your throat, makes your heart race and your lungs pump, brings tears to your eyes or an explosion of laughter to your lips." - Christopher Vogler, The Writers Journey
