The Raymond Chandler prize books we bought from @DoyleNewYork have just arrived. Chandler won the prizes while at school @DulwichCollege 1900-1905. Their condition suggests he read them & that they moved around the world with him.

#OTD 1686 William Cartwright Jr. (or the younger), died. He was an actor like his father, but due to the Civil War & Commonwealth turned himself into a book & picture dealer. He left his collection to @DulwichCollege, the paintings are @DulwichGallery.

Just listened to Paul Sinha @OA_Association, Ultimate Pub Quiz @BBCSounds. Monday’s 50th episode included many questions about his old school @DulwichCollege. Although some ‘facts’ were sadly incorrect.
