This was a birthday present, and an inspired choice. I loved it so much, and it just underlines my decision to always have Sandi Toksvig at the top of my “fantasy dinner party guest” list.

I really enjoyed this delightful book, especially with narration by the author herself.

The structure of the book is partly a local history, based on locations on the Number 12 bus route from Dulwich Library to Oxford Street, partly memoir, partly anecdotage, and partly political comment held together by Toksvig charm and gentle humour.

This was at times so sad I thought my heart would break and at other points so funny I had to laugh out loud in public. The format was exceptionally well done, the narrative felt smooth and logical despite the non-linear structure.
