Books Mentioned
“Daniel Defoe, who was a Londoner in the first volume of his tour through the whole island of Great Britain, published in 1724. It was a massive success, with the exception of Robinson Crusoe.”
“It was by far his best-selling book, but never before has it been read out on the top of Rochester Castle on a grey, and slightly dreary day.”
“Charles Dickens used this house where we're sitting right now as the inspiration for Satis House, which is of course Miss Havisham's house in his novel Great Expectations.”
“Things like George Orwell's 1984 or the quests in J.R.R. Tolkien or Frank Herbert's Dune and their team of editors and designers and artisans, they craft books that are so beautiful.”
