Mary Novik breathes new life into the dust that lies beneath "Old St. Paul's". Like Izaak Walton and Dr. Samuel Johnson before her, she explores the life - and death - of John Donne, that curious clergyman whose effigy still stands wrapped in his shroud, even though the church that once contained it was long ago made ashes. Her book joins the ranks of those select few authors - Peter Ackroyd, for one - whose books convey an abiding love of London, and what lies beneath. read review

Notes

Jacqueline Pearce says:

I just finished listening to the audio version of "Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie." I enjoyed it very much. The reading was well done, and I loved the character of Flavia, with her balance of precocious intelligence and youthful joi de vivre. I hope there will be more from Flavia in the future!

Hi Alan. I'm certainly looking forward to the next in the series. The first book should have a lot of appeal to young readers with mature literary tastes, too. I've recommended it to one twelve-year-old I know.
Cheers, KV
