Two Carps
Andrew W. Pye on Richard Haydn, The Journals of Edwin Carp & Sir Henry Howarth Bashford, Augustus Carp Esq., By Himself
Augustus Carp, Esq., By Himself is one of those legendary books you hear about and add immediately to your wants list. After years of searching I spotted a ‘Carp’ on the shelf of a charity bookshop and purchased it without hesitation. On arriving home, however, I discovered the book was in fact The Journal of Edwin Carp by Richard Haydn. I’d bought the wrong Carp.
