If you enjoyed Once Upon A Time World, I can recommend The Riviera Set by Mary S Lovell which covers 1920 to 1960 at the Chateau de L'Horizon on the Cote d'Azur with a cast of very, very famous people from Edward and Wallis via Churchill to Rita Hayworth. It also has a great picture on the front too!

Oh yes, that's a lovely cover. I hadn't heard of the book but it looks great. I think this might be a new favourite sub section of reading!

I wonder if they’d let us camp out overnight?

At Shakespeare & Company, George Whitman did!! He had all these beds huddled into the stacks! He even asked Paul and me if we needed a bed for the night(we did not—we were at the Esmeralda around the corner). He’d offer writers and artists a place to stay—at the store! And Sundays. Tea for all! Cool guy.
