Q's Legacy

In New York, to further her self-education, the author began writing letters to the London second-hand booksellers, Marks and Co. The correspondence was published as 84 Charing Cross Road inspiring a play which was a success in London. On its heels she wrote The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street, an account of her visit to London to help promote the British edition. The present work tells how she came to write those two books and describes her further visits to London for the television and stage productions.
