I can't explain the helter skelter changes in price, but my Charles Urban book is currently retailing at £15.23 (pbk) on Amazon, which seems almost reasonable https://t.co/VAH20liBYh

I've switched handles: @jrbyork -> @jrboxford

Turns out to be more convincing even than packing books at persuading me that I'm moving.

A lovely piece of #BBCradio presented by @OldFortunatus of @HertfordCollege. To mark 300 years since publication, an evolving reflection on Defoe's #RobinsonCrusoe over time. I had fun discussing a remarkable 1902 Méliès film with Emma as part of her tour.

The @DeGreyRooms' fabulous #CocktailBar: perfect place for a short pre-show talk on #MuchAdo 15/5.
In deference both to venue and play, conversation may be fruity. And with a Shakespearean kick.

Mischief-making McKernan. (Strong work.)
