Gabriel's Moon in the Bookshop

Gabriel's Moon by William Boyd

"What's important to me is that all of my books are in print - and, in a way, that becomes the challenge, not winning this prize or getting that review. It's that the work is there, and you can walk into many bookshops throughout the world and buy it." - William Boyd

 

The Thirties in the Bookshop

The Thirties by Juliet Gardiner

"Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void, but out of chaos; the materials must, in the first place, be afforded: it can give form to dark, shapeless substances, but cannot bring into being the substance itself." - Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Frankenstein
