84 Charing Cross

WORTH CONSUMING!

 

I really enjoy the genre of books I would title “correspondence books”. These books include: Beverly Cleary’s “Dear Mr. Henshaw”, C.S Lewis’ “Screwtape Letters” (okay, not that one so much), Ted L. Nancy’s “Letters From a Nut”, and Don Novello’s numerous Lazlo Toth volumes. “84 Charing Cross Road” would fit into the genre of “Correspondence books” with one small exception. Cleary and Lewis’ books are works of fiction; while Nancy and Novello’s concepts are the literary equivalent of prank phone calls. Hanff’s story is 100% true.
