This time last week I had the privilege of giving a lecture at the oldest library in America, the Charleston Library Society. It's been a delight digging around in their collections and I can't wait to return in the future.

When I told my dad I was off to Graz for #DH2023 he quipped that he was arrested in Graz twice for street theatre in 1979. Coincidentally, this story has revealed the wonderful #digitalarchive for the Steirischerherbst festival! Worlds collide!

#MapMonday On this day in 1949, Enid Blyton's wooden toy character, Noddy, first appeared in the Sunday Graphic. The stories of Noddy were originally illustrated by Harmsen van der Beek, who created this map of "Toyland" where Noddy lived. Images: bit.ly/43jjsMA & eBay
