What the Manolo is…
Manolo says, it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is…
As you certainly already know the Manolo has been enjoying greatly the singing of Fritz Wunderlich and the leider music of Franz Schubert.
As for the movie Nine, it stars the Manolo’s favorite cobbler/actor together with three wonderful actresses, and the costumery is marvelous, and the music is moderately fun, and yet, still, the whole thing adds up to the big snooze.

It might sound like a crazy thing to say, but music and shoes really are quite similar. When Schubert was busy creating his masterpieces in the 1850s, so too were many top Northampton Goodyear welted manufactures in Northampton. My only problem is that today these English shoes are so expensive. Solution? I buy my shoes from a local independent retailer called Arthur Knight http://www.ArthurKnigtShoes.co.uk. They have superb hand made shoes at reasonable prices and are always pleasant to deal with.

I am so grateful for these book recommendations. Some of the Manolo’s recommendations have been light-hearted and charming, as this Clyde Edgerton novel promises to be, and others have filled gaping holes in my knowledge of the world–the Sienkiewicz trilogy, for example. Thank you for bringing these treasures to our attention.
