  10. Richard – I read it all in one sitting! It is a delight. Oh, and absolutely loved the book BTW. Read it in one sitting. have passed it onto Sarah, my offsider…..Once I get it back, I'll re-read it I also really enjoyed it. I did read it cover to cover, in one day, so I think that’s good evidence that I found it a very easy and enjoyable read. The book is a fascinating read and I didn’t want it to end – I expect to re-read it many times as the years go by I really enjoyed it – very well written, was disappointed when it finished – which is rare for me in a non fiction book. My Imagined end
