Finished reading a new book about the letters of Mary Queen of Scots last night, Captive Queen: The Decrypted History of Mary, Queen of Scots by Jade Scott. Review to follow soon on my academic blog. Meanwhile, and continuing the literary theme, I’ve started reading about a 1930s book forgery case, The Book Forger: The true story of a literary crime that fooled the world by Joseph Hone. Likely to review that book in due course too.

Continuing streaming old but recent ish theatre plays using the National Theatre at Home subscription I got at a hefty reduction before Christmas. Now on to Noel Coward's Present Laughter starring Andrew Scott, and cleverly gender-swapping in part the original. Andrew Scott won the Best Actor Olivier Award for this.
