With bookshops long gone, bar one, where I am, there is no joy for me in going to town. My childhood and youth was thrilled by bookshops, especially old used book shops, where one could browse for as long as one wanted.
I will never have an e-reader.
Children today do not know the joy I had in books, and comics. Every Saturday my dad and I would go browsing the bookshops. I would also get an educational children’s magazine called World of Wonder, and also a funny comic. World of Wonder taught me the basics of history, my favourite subject, and I still have the collection. It came with wall charts too on exploration, science and ancient civilisations.
