Eliot's Book of Bookish Lists Christmas Special 2022
b'
In this bonus episode, Henry introduces Eliot\'s Book of Bookish Lists, the perfect stocking-filler for book-lovers.
Who had birds called Death, Wigs and Spinach? How do you spell the noise of a door slamming? Whose working title was The Chronic Argonauts?
In this eclectic gallimaufry, Henry showcases some of his favourite literary lists: we witness the tragic ends of the Ancient Greek tragedians, learn the name of George Orwell\'s pet cockerel and rummage through Joan Didion\'s travelling bag; we consider the history of literary fart jokes, orbit the Shakespearean moons of Uranus and meet several pigs with wings. From the sublime to the ridiculous \\u2013 and everything in between \\xad\\u2013 Eliot\'s lists, recommendations and nuggets of trivia will delight, inspire and surprise anyone who loves reading.
