The story was so immersive she sat on the floor of the mobile library to read.
Unaware, it drove to the next location.
By the time it returned to her street the following week she had finished the whole of the fiction section. Who needs food when you have books?
Rosie Douglas has been writing all her life, just for fun. She was born in the East End of London and although she says she hates London, she keeps getting drawn back there time after time.
Immerse not withdraw.
Reminds me of Alan Bennett’s van lady. And my children when they learned to read without my help.
Lovely story! Made me vividly remember our bookmobile when I was a kid. Thanks!
