Davies and Pym

In marking the 40th anniversary of the Booker Prize, the Oxford National Dictionary of Biography has put online its articles on winners and some shortlisted authors, among whom are two of my favourite authors: Robertson Davies and Barbara Pym. I must admit the article on Barbara Pym reads more like a newspaper obituary, but the Robertson Davies article is interesting.

Irena Sendler

I must admit I had never heard of Irena Sendler until she was mentioned in this week's editorial on Anglicans Online. She deserves to be much better known.
