Q's Legacy
by Helene Hanff
by Helene Hanff
A magnificent autobiography about the journey to 84 Charing Cross Road - the bookseller, the writing of the book and the experiences that this connection brought Ms. Hanff.
Helene Hanff found a book of lectures by Cambridge don, Air Arthur Quiller-Couch --- Q's legacy was for her to search for the books he refers to in his lectures. We travel this road with her through good times and bad - through good jobs and bad. Ms Hanff's incredible character explodes in her own words. By the end, you are quite sure that you actually know this person.
It is a particularly remarkable read if you have read and loved 84 Charing Cross Road. And, if you did, you will find the story of Marks and Co touching you in a new way...
