We saw this post coming.... We started with jumble sales, moved on to White Elephant Stalls, which are a feature of more general fetes – church or village, held at the big house. And so we slide on to the question of fortune-tellers This may be the moment for me to reveal that I took the role of Madam Fortunata to do some fortune-telling at my children’s school fetes, and revelled in it. (I was careful to emphasize that this was in the nature of a joke, I was not dabbling in the dark arts, and no-one should take it seriously). I like to think I brought a certain gusto to the role, with my curtain-ring earrings. And no-one tried to murder me - it seems I was lucky… they feature in an awful lot of crime books. Can you predict which ones I will mention in my list? If you notice I have missed your favourite do say so, BUT I had far too many instances for one post, so there are others lined up –John Dickson Carr & Agatha Christie for example. I'll add your great suggestions to those future…
