In the first half, we do a topic suggested by Lindsay – books by Australians and books by people from New Zealand. And my GOODNESS we don’t know anywhere near enough to be discussing it. But we plough on!


In the second half, we look at two non-fiction books by Adrian Bell: Corduroy and A Suffolk Harvest.
