“And Wessex was the last kingdom of England.”

Antony Beevor
“The ubiquitous initials LSR for Luftschutzraum, or air-raid shelter, were said to stand for ‘Lernt schnell Russisc’: ‘Learn Russian quickly’.”
Antony Beevor, Berlin: The Downfall 1945: The Number One Bestseller

Antony Beevor
“Candles were used to measure the diminishing levels of oxygen. When a candle placed on the floor went out, children were picked up and held at shoulder height. When a candle on a chair went out, then the evacuation of the level began. And if a third candle, positioned at about chin level, began to sputter, then the whole bunker was evacuated, however heavy the attack above.”
Antony Beevor, Berlin: The Downfall 1945: The Number One Bestseller

Jennifer Worth
“Most hospitals in England, even in the 1950s, were converted workhouses, so the buildings alone had an aura of degradation and death for people who had lived all their lives with the terror of being sent to the workhouse.”
Jennifer Worth, Call The Midwife: A True Story Of The East End In The 1950s

Anthony Horowitz
“It looked a little like a railway terminus as designed by an overambitious architect … one obviously with ideas above his station.”
Anthony Horowitz, With a Mind to Kill
