Dave Annal

The works of the great 19th century novelists entertain, intrigue and amuse us. The characters, places and plots have become recognisable reference points with themes of inheritance, illegitimacy and identity; these same themes may have echoes in our own ancestry. More information on Dave Annal on our Speaker page.

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
