TWITTER<\/a> | FACEBOOK<\/a> | LINKEDIN<\/p>\n Inspired by some of the Silver Screen\u2019s favourite and most memorable classics, author, Tony Drury, has set about penning a series of novella\u2019s collectively entitled Novella Nostalgia. Linking iconic cinema classics with modern stories, these short stories are the perfect stocking filler for the book-worms out there!<\/p>\n The Novella Nostalgia collection features three enticing short-stories, Lunch With Harry, Twelve Troubled Jurors, and the newest release, Forever On Thursdays. These stories are greatly fitting for the homeward journey after visiting relatives at Christmas, or for those breaks between checking the Christmas dinner! And if time is limited for reading the whole novella, do not fear as the memorable story-lines will remain in your thinking until you pick up and read again.<\/p>\n \u201cLunch with Harry\u201d transfers the tale to Regent Street, London in 2016. Audrey Hepburn is recreated in the desirable shape of Dr Ella van Houten who has stood on a man\u2019s foot outside Hamleys, the world\u2019s oldest toy shop. Ella was imagining that she was Holly Golightly, the character that Hepburn played in one of Hollywood\u2019s greatest ever romantic films, in New York- the most Christmassy city of them all.<\/p>\n \u201cTwelve Troubled Jurors\u201d follows an explosive Crown Court case which creates nerve jangling tensions among members of the jury. The weakness of the evidence of financial \u201cinsider dealing\u201d is offset by Vicki Rollins\u2019 resentment of the wealthy classes in a courtroom drama echoing the strains of \u201cTwelve Angry Men\u201d, the film that gave us one of Henry Fonda\u2019s greatest performances.<\/p>\n \u201cForever On Thursdays\u201d is based on the unforgettable British film \u201cBrief Encounter\u201d and tells the tale of Carey and Mark, who meet unexpectedly when Carey is the victim of an assault at a railway station. Mark is her saviour and whisks her away for a coffee; the pair get on well and soon they are meeting every Thursday. A perfect gift for the avid reader in your life, or as a treat for yourself, these short reads are perfect for the winter holiday commute or something to keep to look forward to in the new year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Novella Nostalgia by Tony Drury The Perfect Christmas Gift for Book Worms www.tonydrury.com\/the-novella-nostalgia-series TWITTER | FACEBOOK | LINKEDIN Inspired by some of the Silver Screen\u2019s favourite and most memorable classics, author, Tony Drury, has set about penning a series of novella\u2019s collectively entitled Novella Nostalgia.
