Reader surveys
Thank you to everyone who took part in the previous online polls. The winners were as follows:
- The funniest book ever: Catch 22 by Joseph Heller.
- The best children's book ever: The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.
- The favourite beach read survey didn't produce an outright winner, but rather a number of books by the same author, Barbara Pym, who has written titles such as A Glass of Blessings and An Academic Question.
- Charles Dickens was chosen as favourite winter author for his wintry novels of bleak Victorian London.
Watch out for future online polls.
