I first heard of ...An interesing post.Thanks Nick.<br /><br />I first heard of Arthur Copping ten years ago when I read a reference to him and the Gotty books in Archie White's book Tideways and Byways in Essex and Suffolk which I had found in a second hand book shop in Aldborough, Suffolk. My interest was aroused sufficiently for me to purchase a Nelson edition, Gotty and The Gov'nor via the Boofinder.com website. I found it to be a charming read. Of course I then had to obtain a copy of Gotty in Furrin' Parts. This proved far more problematic and took me 8 years of searching until I eventually found a copy in a second hand book shop 200 miles North of Sydney, Australia. "Furrin Parts" continues the adventures of Gotty, this time across the North Sea in territory not far from that Erskine Childers describes in The Riddle of The Sands and is as equally enjoyable and to be recommended as is Gotty and The Guv'nor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
