Evergreen Summer 2010

There cannot be many magazines in existence within whose pages such a wide variety of characters rub shoulders with one another. If grouped together in a photograph they would certainly make a curious sight! But in a fascinating series of articles in the Summer 2010 issue of Evergreen that is exactly what you get: actor and comedian Terry-Thomas, swashbuckling 18th-century pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read, poet and novelist Rudyard Kipling (we explore his village of Burwash in Sussex and admire the church), music hall legend Lupino Lane, the cast of television’s “Crackerjack” and renowned boy soprano Billy Neely.

We also visit some interesting places for the summer, including Ely in Cambridgeshire with its majestic cathedral, relive a reader’s school trip to Derbyshire in 1959, go on a literary pilgrimage around some wonderful bookshops, visit Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness, wonder at the strange Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire, and learn about an old pub deep in the countryside of Berkshire.
