This week we're travelling to sunny Deal on the Kent coast to peruse the shelving of author, travel writer, sports scribe and broadcaster Charlie Connelly. Charlie has written books on a baffling array of subjects including Elvis, walking, weather and World War I. He is perhaps best known for his glorious book about the Shipping Forecast, Attention All Shipping and he has just released a wonderful book about the magic of radio listening, Last Train To Hilversum. We talked to Charlie about cricket, gothic plagiarists, fighting Ben Fogle and loving Margaret Rutherford.BOOKS (CLICK ON THE TITLES FOR MORE)Daisy Buchanan - The SisterhoodCharlie Connelly - Last Train to HilversumCharlie Connelly - Attention All ShippingDavid Seabrook - All The Devils Are HereJames Joyce - UlyssesJohn Betjeman - The Best of BetjemanNick Hornby - Fever PitchJan Morris - Fifty Years of Europe: An AlbumJan Morris - ConundrumJan Morris - In My Mind’s Eye: A Thought DiaryJan Morris - The Matter of Wales Bill Naughton - The Goalkeeper’s RevengeGordon Boshell - Captain CobwebbGordon Bushell - Captain Cobwebb’s CowboysRonnie Barker - Book of Bathing BeautiesRonnie Barker - Book of Boudoir BeautiesLeonard De Vries - ‘Orrible MurderMelatu Uche Okorie - This Hostel LifeMargaret Rutherford - How Pleasant To Know Mr LearMargaret Rutherford - AutobiographyMaggie Stredder - The Girl With the GlassesAlan Stafford - Wilson, Keppel and Betty: Too Naked For The NazisEmer McLysaght and Sarah Breen - Oh My God What a Complete AislingVarious - 65 Great Tales of the SupernaturalCharles Maturin - Melmoth the WandererSarah Perry - MelmothSarah Perry - The Essex SerpentBram Stoker - DraculaIsak Dinesen - Gothic TalesVarious - Oxford Book of Gothic TalesPeter Haining - The Shilling ShockersMatthew Lewis - The MonkVarious - Wisden Cricketers' AlmanackCharlie Connelly - Gilbert: The Last Days of WG GraceBella Bathurst - The Lighthouse StevensonsDouglas Adams - The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
