At that time the books came out in the States with as much as a 2-year delay after their British and Canadian publication. So, when we returned to Canada on home leave in the summers, the first thing I used to do was race to Nicholas Hoare's bookshop on Sussex Drive in Ottawa to get the latest in the Falco series. It was pre-internet days! <br />P.S. My grandmother had photos she had taken of Pompeii in 1913 while on a European tour (also of Prussia, which seems astonishing for some reason).Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550076661380685327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-26528899092448346932016-02-12T13:18:23.519-05:002016-02-12T13:18:23.519-05:00As a child, I was sitting up one night, much later...As a child, I was sitting up one night, much later than usual because there was a bat in my bedroom. The TV was on and there was a program. All I remembered was the cast of the dog. Years later, I figured out I was matching a documentary on Pompeii. My father had big picture book on the latest excavations c.1963. I still have that book and still read it compulsively now and then, wandering what that day would have been like. Pompeii has haunted me since I was probably six years old and I am 58 today. So, WOW, to this.<br />AmoretteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
