Author Description

Excerpt from In the Sixties and Seventies: Impressions of Literary People and Others At this time there lived in Pentonville, then a some what rural neighbourhood, a young couple who were enthusiastic admirers of Thackeray. The day that the instalments of his novels came out was hailed as an exciting holiday and though the stories often ran twenty-three months, it was not a day too long for these enthusiastic young people. Should we keep up our interest in a story now for nearly two years? And could any one feel excited over magazine day - but there is no magazine day, because there are more magazines than days in the longest month.
