Globish at Daunt’s

Soon-to-be hot seats at Daunt’s Elephant observes FDR and WSC FDR and WSC

Went across to Daunt Books in Marylebone High Street – one of my favourites worldwide – this evening, to listen to Robert McCrum interviewed on his book Globish, which I have been enjoying this past week or so on flights and trains. As Elaine and I walked back to Green Park, we passed the wonderful sculpture (Allies) by Lawrence Holofcener of Roosevelt and Churchill, where – appropriately – Old Bond Street joins New Bond Street. The sculpture is intriguingly overlooked at the moment by one of the elephants that currently dot town, emplaced by the Elephant Family, who occupied our 2 Bloomsbury offices before we did.
