ABOUT THE LONDON REVIEW BOOKSHOP
Located in the heart of Bloomsbury, just a Rosetta Stone’s throw from the British Museum, the London Review Bookshop has established itself as an essential part of the capital’s cultural life. Opened in 2003 by the London Review of Books, it’s a place for people who love books to meet, talk, drink excellent tea and coffee, consume delicious cake, and of course, browse.
Our selection of more than 20,000 titles ranges from the classics of world literature to the cutting edge of contemporary fiction and poetry, not forgetting a copious display of history, politics, philosophy, cookery, essays and children’s books. And our lovely shop, designed by Amanda Culpin of utility provides the perfect setting in which to explore them all.
THE CAKE SHOP
Surrounded by books and fragrant with tea, the London Review Cake Shop is the modern answer to London’s long-lost literary coffee-houses. Accessed through the Bookshop via a corridor in the history section, the Cake Shop offers a small but vibrant menu, a wide selection of fine teas and a superior espresso. Above all, it provides a haven for reading and reflection.
The London Review Bookshop and Cake Shop are open Monday- Saturday, 10 a.m. - 6.30 p.m. The Bookshop is also open on Sunday, 12 p.m. - 6 p.m.

Writer and broadcaster Melvyn Bragg spoke to us about his lifelong love of reading, and about how books have helped him to cope during episodes of depression.
For Melvyn, reading helped him to realise that he was not alone in his experience of depression; this was particularly important for him as a teenager, when he felt unable to talk to anyone about his condition, and had no access to professional help or support networks.
Although Melvyn describes periods during his depression when he was unable to read, novels and poems have always been a lifeline that he has returned to for comfort and companionship. Melvyn also explains to us why he believes so strongly in the importance of reading aloud, and suggests that the practice should be reinstated in schools.

The Adventure of English is a British television series (ITV) on the history of the English language presented by Melvyn Bragg as well as a companion book, also written by Bragg. The series ran in 2003.[1]
The modern Frisian language is the closest sounding language to the English used approximately 2000 years ago, when the people from what is now the north of the Netherlands travelled to what would become England, and pushed the Celtic language - ancestor of modern Welsh - (Celts) to the western side of the island. Words like "blue" can be recognised in the Frisian language.
Bragg then discusses how English dialects in certain areas of the United Kingdom were heavily influenced by historical events such as the invasion of the Vikings in the east, contributing words such as "sky" to the English language.

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Druids, the priests of ancient Europe. Active in Ireland, Britain and Gaul, the Druids were first written about by Roman authors including Julius Caesar and Pliny, who described them as wearing white robes and cutting mistletoe with golden sickles. They were suspected of leading resistance to the Romans, a fact which eventually led to their eradication from ancient Britain. In the early modern era, however, interest in the Druids revived, and later writers reinvented and romanticised their activities. Little is known for certain about their rituals and beliefs, but modern archaeological discoveries have shed new light on them.

Melvyn Bragg
Melvyn Bragg, Baron Bragg, FRSL, FBA, FRS (born 6 October 1939) is a British broadcaster, author and parliamentarian. He is best known for his work with ITV as editor and presenter of the The South Bank Show (1978–2010).
Earlier in his career, Bragg worked for the BBC in various roles including presenter, a connection that resumed in 1988 when he began to host Start the Week on Radio 4. After his ennoblement in 1998, he switched to presenting the new In Our Time, a discussion radio programme, which has run to over 600 editions. He is currently Chancellor of the University of Leeds.
Early life
Bragg was born on 6 October 1939 in Carlisle, the son of Mary Ethel (née Park), a tailor, and Stanley Bragg, a stock keeper turned mechanic. He was given the name Melvyn by his mother after she saw the actor Melvyn Douglas at a local cinema. He was raised in the small town of Wigton, where he attended the Wigton primary school and later the Nelson Thomlinson Grammar School, where he was Head Boy. He was an only child, born a year after his parents married, on the eve of Word War II. His father was away from home serving with the Royal Air Force for four years during the war. His upbringing and childhood experiences were typical of the working class environment of that era.

Quotes:
[Outside her flat]::Kate: Don't be fooled by the grim exterior. It's a good deal grimmer inside.Dexter: All these weeks I've been coming here, I've been wanting to ask you something. What I really want to know is... er, what's your name?::Kate: Kate... Lemmon. Horrid name!::Dexter: No, no, not at all. Could have been worse. Could have been called Hitler, Tampon, or something.
Dexter: God take my testicles and fry them up with bacon!
Dexter: How was your day?::Kate: Not great. A nurses's day is always pretty grisly. A woman I was with gave birth to a baby in a lift.::Dexter: Well, that was okay, er?::Kate: It would have been, but her husband slipped on the afterbirth and broke his collarbone.
Dexter: I hope all your children have very small dicks! And that includes the girls!
Ron Anderson: You're both sacked. I give you a week's notice.::Dexter: You can't do that! I demand to talk to the producer.::Ron Anderson: I am the producer.::Dexter: In that case, you can do that but I'm not going to give you the satisfaction of sacking me because I resign!::Ron Anderson: Fine, then you get no severance pay and I sue your arse for breach of contract.::Dexter: In that case I don't resign, you total and utter bastard!::Ron Anderson: [slams the door in Dexter's face]::Dexter: I hope all your children have very small dicks! And that includes the girls!
Dexter: Please? Just dinner? Let me explain: I was a complete, total, utter idiot! I have learned my lesson completely, totally, utterly!::Kate: Just dinner?::Dexter: Promise!::Kate: What? No sex at the end?::Dexter: Well, maybe - sex? Yes! Alright, if you insist!
Kate: Are you going to walk me home? Or should I just get murdered on my own?
Mary: Well, the only other thing at the moment is a new musical that the RSC are doing.::Dexter: Er, what's it about?::Mary: The Elephant Man.::Dexter: A musical of the Elephant Man? What's it called?::Mary: "Elephant", I think - with an exclamation mark presumably.::Dexter: Pity the poor bastard who has to play the elephant.::Mary: Remember dearest, everyone thought Jesus Christ Superstar was a stupid idea.::Dexter: Jesus Christ Superstar WAS a stupid idea.::Mary: True.
Ron Anderson: Listen, Dexter, is there something troubling you? Something that you would like to talk to someone about?::Dexter: Well, yes, as a matter of fact there is...::Ron Anderson: Then for fuck's sake talk to someone about it, will you? And sort it out before I sack you and hire a lobotomized monkey to play your role. Okay?

ABOUT THE LONDON REVIEW BOOKSHOP
Located in the heart of Bloomsbury, just a Rosetta Stone’s throw from the British Museum, the London Review Bookshop has established itself as an essential part of the capital’s cultural life. Opened in 2003 by the London Review of Books, it’s a place for people who love books to meet, talk, drink excellent tea and coffee, consume delicious cake, and of course, browse.
Our selection of more than 20,000 titles ranges from the classics of world literature to the cutting edge of contemporary fiction and poetry, not forgetting a copious display of history, politics, philosophy, cookery, essays and children’s books. And our lovely shop, designed by Amanda Culpin of utility provides the perfect setting in which to explore them all.

Writer and broadcaster Melvyn Bragg spoke to us about his lifelong love of reading, and about how books have helped him to cope during episodes of depression.
For Melvyn, reading helped him to realise that he was not alone in his experience of depression; this was particularly important for him as a teenager, when he felt unable to talk to anyone about his condition, and had no access to professional help or support networks.
Although Melvyn describes periods during his depression when he was unable to read, novels and poems have always been a lifeline that he has returned to for comfort and companionship. Melvyn also explains to us why he believes so strongly in the importance of reading aloud, and suggests that the practice should be reinstated in schools.

The Adventure of English is a British television series (ITV) on the history of the English language presented by Melvyn Bragg as well as a companion book, also written by Bragg. The series ran in 2003.[1]
The modern Frisian language is the closest sounding language to the English used approximately 2000 years ago, when the people from what is now the north of the Netherlands travelled to what would become England, and pushed the Celtic language - ancestor of modern Welsh - (Celts) to the western side of the island. Words like "blue" can be recognised in the Frisian language.
Bragg then discusses how English dialects in certain areas of the United Kingdom were heavily influenced by historical events such as the invasion of the Vikings in the east, contributing words such as "sky" to the English language.

First broadcast: Thursday 20 September 2012, BBC Radio 4.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01mqq94
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Druids, the priests of ancient Europe. Active in Ireland, Britain and Gaul, the Druids were first written about by Roman authors including Julius Caesar and Pliny, who described them as wearing white robes and cutting mistletoe with golden sickles. They were suspected of leading resistance to the Romans, a fact which eventually led to their eradication from ancient Britain. In the early modern era, however, interest in the Druids revived, and later writers reinvented and romanticised their activities. Little is known for certain about their rituals and beliefs, but modern archaeological discoveries have shed new light on them.
