|rating= 5
|genre= Historical Fiction
|summary= A writer writing about writers writing. What more could a reader, a book reviewer, a tentative writer and lover of words want from a book?

He couldn't claim benefits as he was in work and had no savings, so the bins had to be his source of food and by the following week he would have to walk to work as he couldn't afford the fares. That was the inspiration for the [http://www.wecarefoodbanks.co.uk/ We Care Food Bank].
