 Once Upon a Time

The Stories I Grew Up With  

Presented by Nigel Gossop

Once Upon a Time is a look behind some of the stories Nigel grew up with and that firmly established his love of books and reading. He will consider Who Was the Real Robinson Crusoe? and Why was Anna Sewell so drawn to the poor treatment of horses?  and What Colour was Winnie the Pooh?

No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting.
Mary Wortley Montague.
Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.
Jean Rhys
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.The man who never reads lives only one.
George R.R. Martin
One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.
Carl Sagan
