Helena's List - Page 2

Notable books 1899-2024. One book per year; one book per author. This is in honour of my grandmother Helena, born in 1899. She is gone now and is much missed. She was an erudite reader, and prized fun and good writing in her books. I've tried to do this in this selection while also giving a picture of changing times.
