But it was a very different Challenger who greeted us in the morning … His beard bristled exultantly, his chest was thrown out, and his hand was thrust into the front of his jacket. So, in his fancy, may he see himself sometimes, gracing the vacant pedestal in Trafalgar Square, and adding one more to the horrors of the London streets.
The quotation is from The Lost World – but Professor Challenger didn’t ever make it onto the vacant pedestal. However, BookCrosser Molekilby is on the plinth right now. He has 160 books to BookCross, including quite a few copies of The Lost World. He’ll be talking about BookCrossing and The Lost Book – and he’s got quite a crowd! Go, Molekilby!
Watch Molekilby live from Trafalgar Square.
Hello also to all the BookCrossers who have made it to London to support Molekilby. The latest list is: dirtydancer2, veganbob, gingergeoff, gingerpeter, Sherlockfan, lytteltonwitch, WishfulDragon, Vekiki, samulli, MissMarkey, Beqi, cyzaki, scarlett17, weebly, LyzzyBee, Candy-is-Dandy, Cassiopaeia, rahar109, Potok-fan and smallbluepebble.
The Lost Book is an animated web series where you wrote the plot.
That looks like it was fun. I’m enjoying watching some of the other plinthers also…like the person who did their ironing up there and a guy who gave a history of Trafalgar Square and the surrounding buildings.
