  The author Alanna Knight also passed away recently, she wrote several historical crime series, set mostly in Scotland, and was well in her 90s.

  A short novel. From Amazon : Steinbeck's first major critical and commercial success. Danny is a paisano, descended from the original Spanish settlers who arrived in Monterey, California, centuries before. He values friendship above money and possessions, so that when he suddenly inherits two houses, Danny is quick to offer shelter to his fellow gentlemen of the road. Their love of freedom and scorn for material things draw them into daring and often hilarious adventures. Until Danny, tiring of his new responsibilities, suddenly disappears... Very well written it shows Steinbeck at his best. Recommended.

  Also we should remember that Des O'Connor was Morecombe & Wise's favourite singer/target.

  The obituaries and comments about John Le Carre speak volumes about how underrated he was as an author and as as a commentator on society.
