by John C. Moore
A series of literary anecdotes and readings
(From Bristol)

'Tell me where is fancy bred'... If it were a part of the world it would be in the West of England. What poet, if he wasn't born in the West, has not packed his bag and gone there for a holiday? Keats sitting on the rocks at Tintagel, Landor pacing his ruins at Llanthony, Coleridge and Wordsworth walking mysteriously by night through the woods at Netherstowey, Hazlitt on his way to Wem, Herrick in his parsonage. These stories and many others will be told in the series by our own men of letters-Ellis Roberts, E. M. Delafield, A.G. Street, John C. Moore, Reginald Arkell, and many others.
