The Times has the most famous letters page of any newspaper. This delightful selection of over 300 items of correspondence over the last century shows precisely why. As a forum for debate, playground for opinion-formers, advertising space for decision-makers & noticeboard for eccentrics, nothing rivals it for entertainment value. By turns well-informed, well-intentioned, curious, quirky & bizarre, since 1914 it has taken the temperature of the British way of life & provided a window on the national character. Among those who have written to The Times to have their say are some of the major political & literary figures of the modern era, including Margaret Thatcher, Benito Mussolini, Graham Greene & John Le Carre. There are contributions, too, from Agatha Christie, Alastair Campbell, AA Milne, Yehudi Menuhin, Theresa May & Morrissey. If you want to know why kippers are dyed, who first turned up their trousers, how to make perfect porridge or just how to have a letter printed in The Times, this infinitely witty, diverting & memorable anthology should be, sincerely, yours.
