This card is for one of my favourite of Roald Dahl`s books, Esio Trot, which is tortoise backwards, and the one in the story does one of the most magical things and brings two lonely people together, a rather curmudgeonly gentleman, and the widowed neighbour he has been developing feelings for without being brave enough to say or do anything about making the first connection.
The book was the last of Roald Dahl`s novels; it was published just two months before he died.
Now if you are thinking this back looks familiar you are right, we featured the set before, in its Godfrey Phillips livery. And you can see that in our newsletter of the 13th of August 2022, as the diary card for Sunday the 14th of August
