Some writers' homes and their writing desks, I have visited over the years.
Two of the writers were very close friends. One picture shows a place connected with a particular writer but it is really connected to two writers, brother and sister. There is a picture of a house connected to a family of writers. Three of the pictures were not taken in Britain. Two of the writers were not British.Another is of a house belonging to a soldier, artist, writer and politician; he was a master at all those occupations.

- Charles Dickens' Swiss Cottage, in Rochester. He was writing Edwin Drood inside on the morning of his death.
- The parsonage in Haworth where the Brontë sisters and their brother Branwell lived.

Tony, I'm pitiful. I only got two. Maybe if I had been able to spend more time thinking about it, I might have gotten two or three more. The two I knew, I knew immediately - Jane and the Brontes.
