In 1949 Helene Hanff, 'a poor writer with an antiquarian taste in books,' wrote to Marks & Co. Booksellers of 84 Charing Cross Rd, in search of rare editions she was unable to find in New York. Her books were dispatched with polite but brisk efficiency. But, seeking further treasures, Helene soon found herself in regular correspondence with bookseller Frank Doel, laying siege to his English reserve with her warmth and wit. And, as letter, books and quips crossed the ocean, a friendship flourished that would endure for twenty years.

One very cold morning, the farmer decides he needs more firewood. There isn’t any wood in the box so he has to go and find some. He takes a saw and gets into his old blue lorry with Bitzer, his dog, to go and look for a good tree to cut down.
