Unlikely imaginations clash

Two people wrote to the Guardian to complain that Alfred Duggan had never lived at Blenheim. Er. Hrmph. An error in transmission, as we used to say before email removed that alibi. However, poking around Google print revealed the unlikely fact that he had, in 1954, reviewed the Fellowship of the Ring for the TLS. I have to go into that part of London this evening anyway, for a lecture at the Royal Society, so I shall pop into the London Library and look it up. With the aid of the Xerox machine, I may even bring a copy home.
