Jeff Thomson – Brief Encounters

Brief Encounters is a 60-minute stroll through Guildford’s literary links. Many well-known authors have brushed up against the town at pivotal moments in their lives. P G Wodehouse was born here – G B Shaw lived here (albeit briefly) – so too did Mark Twain. Journalist and Guildford Town Guide Jeff Thomson explains how Agatha Christie, poet Wilfred Owen and TV cook Fanny Cradock – and others – have had key Brief Encounters with the town. He doesn’t forget Lewis Carroll - and what happened to young Alice Liddell in later life?
