I spy ...with my little eye ... some biographies beginning with ... B
A brace of Bexley bookish thoughts occurred to me recently, dear readers (no small feat for – as you’ll appreciate – we chaps tend not to be able to think of more than one item at a time…)
Thought A) was that we've got a splendid collection of biographies about the Obamas, so now would be a good time to revisit them...
For, without any hint of political bias, nothing becomes so obsolete so rapidly as a biography of a recently defeated overseas politician - and, while we've got various books about Romney (Marsh) we've nothing about Romney (Mitt)...
Thought B) popped up shortly afterwards, whilst my extensive research team were gathering material regarding our library collection of new biographies - and, "my! - what a lot we've got!"...There are certainly some absolute corkers popping up on the catalogue, and - as one of my colleagues perceptively pointed out - lots of the best ones are about B's...
Well, this called for an investigation, without a doubt...And yes - how right they were. Here are some of their top biographical tips...(Sadly, they failed to fully complete the task, and you'll need to uncover the actual B's yourself, so please try...)
One brave B perished in a heroic Antarctic quest - (but did you know, he went to school in Sidcup?)
Another crafty B also had some Bexley links: a close pal of our own William Morris, he was the greatest artist of his age...
And then there's a colleague of our own Len Goodman - but this one's a saucy Italian B
Or how about a feline, ginger B?...
Or some Tudor B's?
Or perhaps your tastes are more musical? Then here's a classic B, or - my own personal favourite "Get it on" and "Ride a white swan" - a groovy B
So - to sum up, dear readers - we've lots of biographies beginning with 'B'...we've got biographies about the Obamas...but, obviously, if you want even more new biographies to get your (ahem) mitts on, then just try these: ACDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
