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
and noticeboard for eccentrics, nothing rivals it for entertainment value. By
turns well-informed, well-intentioned, curious, quirky and bizarre, since 1914
it has taken the temperature of the British way of life and 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 and
literary figures of the modern era, including Margaret Thatcher, Benito
Mussolini, Graham Greene and John Le Carré. There are contributions,
too, from Agatha Christie, Alastair Campbell, AA Milne, Yehudi Menuhin, Theresa
May and 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 and memorable anthology should be, sincerely,
yours.
