Kent Clues! Find!

Hello Kent Reading Detectives,
 
 I have had a email of Kentish 'Clues' from Chris Bull who has given us some fantastic suggestions for Kentish Authors we might like to look at.
 
Happy Reading!
 
 
Dear Michelle,
  
  • Richard Austin Freeman (1862 - 1943): Detective story writer lived in Gravesend. He had a popular rival to Sherlock Holmes - Dr John Thorndyke - I am reading these at present and have enjoyed them. We have many of his books in our local history collection, some are autographed - he was friends with Gravesend Librarian Alex J Philip and was on Gravesend Library Committee.
Do also look at the two volumed "Kent Bibliography", available in most town centre libraries - and the current Kent Libraries and Archives catalogue.
 
 
Best wishes
 

Christoph Bull

District Manager, Gravesham Libraries.
