This June is the 300th birthday of the Scottish economist and philosopher Adam Smith, member of the Scottish Enlightenment, friend of Voltaire and Benjamin Franklin, both of whom he met in Switzerland, author of ‘The Wealth of Nations’, and father of the market economy.
This visitor has been checking in recently to see if I'm doing any work. I'll give him a page to chew on as soon as my draft is finished!
I shall be watching the coronation of young King Charles (I'm three weeks older!) with pleasure this weekend, and whether you are monarchists or not I hope that you may enjoy this historic pageant too.
DID YOU KNOW? MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY The international distress call since February 1923. Why not S O S? Because SOS is not a clear audible signal. MAYDAY was chosen by the radio officer at England's Croydon Airport; It’s a rendering of “m'aidez” - “Help me” in French.
Here is the dramatic jacket for the upcoming Bulgarian edition of PARIS: Vol 1
One of the joys of the author's life is being sent new book jackets to approve. Here is the jacket for the Bulgarian edition of LONDON: Volume 1. (These big books go into multiple volumes in some languages). It's really splendid, and I love how my name looks in Bulgarian.
THE CURSE OF TUTANKHAMUN. In April 1923, Lord Carnarvon, who'd financed the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb, died from an infected mosquito bite. Thanks partly to lectures given by Conan Doyle, people started saying that the Curse of the Pharaohs had killed Carnarvon.
In Los Angeles recently to see my son, take some meetings, and do some quiet writing. I always stay in Santa Monica. Great walks by the Pacific. Here's the sky view from my hotel window!
We have just agreed the sale of worldwide UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE rights to my novel NEW YORK. I'm so pleased, especially when I think of the final sentences of that book, which many of you will know.
DID YOU KNOW? Britain’s Coronations haven't always gone smoothly. When George IV was crowned in 1821, he gave orders that his estranged wife wasn’t to be allowed into Westminster Abbey at all! To the amusement of the crowds, she showed, hammering on one closed door after another!
DID YOU KNOW The ancient Babylonians made New Year's Resolutions 4,000 years ago - at the start of the spring crop-planting season. They used to promise the gods to pay their debts and to return things they'd borrowed. We should all do the same, starting with borrowed books !
Wonderful to be in my beloved SARUM for a day and to meet up with my dear friend Helen Russell, who brilliantly manages the Cathedral shop and is a star of the city's cultural life.
A well-spent week. Had both my flu shot and COVID bivalent booster. Then treated myself to a concert in Carnegie Hall by AUDRA MCDONALD. A voice from heaven, a technique to die for. She sang some numbers without a microphone. Do not miss this great lady if you get the chance.
DID YOU KNOW? On the first day of December 1955, exactly 67 years ago today, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus.
Family Thanksgiving preparations. Best wishes to you all !
The scene I love best in NEW YORK is in the first chapter, where Dirk has a picnic with Pale Feather in what will one day be Strawberry Fields - to which we return in the final chapter. I wonder what scene from NEW YORK you like best.
DEAR FANS OF SARUM, I created many characters that I loved in SARUM. Might I ask which one you personally liked best? I'd be so interested to know.

@ERutherfurd 2. the cathedral climbing stonemason 1. the old boy that rode out against the band of Germans to go down in a blaze of glory.
@ERutherfurd It's been many years, so forgive me for not remembering the names, but: 3. the hunter-gatherer that made the statuette of his wife, which eventually ends up on the cathedral. (nice twist on the generally accepted opinion that all those images represent a mother goddess).
@ERutherfurd @erutherford My favourite characters in all of your stories are the geographic places you put the reader in. As a result my favourite character in Sarum is Sarum and the surrounding area itself.
@ERutherfurd Hi Edward. I think I've tweeted you before. Yes my wife and I have been to Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam. Very moving. I'm the grandson of a Holocaust survivor. Mention my lovely grandparents in my life story No Joe Bloggs. Your books are wonderful. Thankyou.
@ERutherfurd We are the sum total of our influences. Whilst his mother was an American, the influences that formed his life were almost entirely English. "She shone for me like the Evening Star. I loved her dearly - but at a distance." -- Winston Churchill on his mother
@ERutherfurd Can’t wait to see what the next book will be! Safe travels!
@ERutherfurd Looking forward to reading your next novel, stay well
@jodyjsperling I once sent an FB message to @ERutherfurd, who wrote the novel New York, about a spelling concern. I was shocked when he wrote back, saying I was the first and only person ever to notice / mention the concern. He was very gracious as well.
I just want to say this is an absolutely wonderful book. True to form, Mr. Rutherford weaves compelling stories around historical, architectural, and cultural landmarks of 19th century China. A great read.
Calling all fans in THE US AND CANADA. The North American paperback edition of CHINA will be published on April 5!! TO ORDER YOUR COPY PLEASE CLICK ON THESE LINKS: US: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/236873/c… CANADA: penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/236873/c…
