First Impressions

This week's competition, in which you have to identify a book from its opening sentence, has a title that might well describe its famously curmudgeonly author:

"What's he like?"

The winner receives a £25 Blackwell's voucher and
the closing date is July 3.

Entries should be sent to

The winner of last week's competition, who correctly identified Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility , is Anita Naoko Pilgrim of Nottingham Trent University.
