    I was privileged to meet P.D.James briefly when she did a talk at Goldsmiths College about the creative process and planning behind her detective novels. Her stature was small and slim. You would walk right past her in the street and think nothing of her. Yet the dogged determination to write in a genre that was male-dominated then was incredible and inspiring.

  2. Author George Orwell’s cottage, The Stores, in Wellington, Hertfordshire, England. He lived here with his new wife Eileen. According to friends it was extremely uncomfortable but that was part of the charm for the newlyweds. Down the road was Manor Farm, and the area was the inspiration for Animal Farm. In the first pic you can see Orwell gazing at the house. The second photo shows what the house looks like today. #georgeorwell #orwell #famousauthors
