Synopsis

The true story of a struggling American writer who in 1949, started a correspondence with a firm of British antiquarian booksellers that was to last for twenty years. The warm, compassionate and very human exchange of letters was published in a book and is here skilfully and lovingly adapted for the stage This is an enchanting play with a charm the like of which is rarely encountered in the theatre.
