Thanks so much to those who have already bought or borrowed a copy of Death Writ Large. These first few weeks are always nerve-wracking so I am especially grateful for the positive comments. Each chapter begins with a word from the past which is relevant to the events that follow. One of my favourites is ‘enigmatology’: the study or love of a good puzzle.

Word of the day is ‘gruntled’ (1930s): at ease and content. May your day be gruntled, ruthful, gormful, and ruly.

Word of the Day is ‘frobly-mobly’, meaning ‘indifferently well’ - essentially the 19th-century version of ‘meh’. This year’s Hay Festival looks set to banish all frobly-mobliness. Hay Festival
