Reading Experience:

Evidence:

I am in the middle of a splendid and much-talked- about book “Joan & Peter” by H.G. Wells, and in it I find a brief description of “Pounce” which was played in the book several years before the war. It is the first time I have ever thoroughly enjoyed a book by Wells.
