As reported in the I met a Barrow Downer thread, Lalaith and I met at the British Library for The Hobbit at 75 evening and enjoyed the various talks by Jane Johnson (AKA Jude Fisher) Adam Roberts who wrote the Soddit and Sellamillion, publisher David Brawn and of course Brian Sibley who read splendidly as well as having a great well of fascinating anecdotes, David Weeks also gave a very dramatic reading.
I was sorry not to get the chance to speak to him personally but he was being monopolised and I am not sure how coherent I would have been meeting someone whose work I have admired so much and for so long.
