The Mobile Library

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Patricia Stammers, Monday, 14 Jul 2014, 19:38

I use the mobile library and find one or two shelves opposite those full of fiction, supporting books of local interest.

'George Henry Borrow was born at East Dereham, Norfolk, on 5 July 1803, ... he was 'sent to Grammar School' but 'never settled' ... 'he travelled' ... 'with the gypsies' ... 'whom he had first come to know on Mousehold Heath just outside Norwich.'

Reference;

Signal Books Oxford,2007, Arnold G., In the Footsteps of George Borrow, p.18

George went to Spain on behalf of and financed by The Bible Society.

How does the book compare with Footsteps by Richard Holmes? Holmes tiptoes.
