Driving along the highway to House today, I was listening to a song by Nick Hornby and Ben Folds.
The first two verses are so pertinent.
Charles Dickens created 13,000 characters in his life. So I decided to count up the characters in my books.
The other day, I was driving along the stock lane at the farm and I heard a tune I quite liked, with an unpretentious English voice talking to me over the melody. I pricked up my ears when I heard: ‘ Did you know that Dickens invented 13,000 characters in his lifetime?’
