Mooch has been reading & sitting on benches! Books About Town was a public art event in London during summer 2014 to promote literacy. There were 50 Book Benches scattered around central London split into four trails, plus some small benches by Corelli College in Greenwich. A 51st large bench was added later. The book benches were sold in an auction on 07 Oct 2014 and raised over a quarter of a million pounds for the National Literacy Trust. Mooch's favourites on each trail were: Bloomsbury: Rest Your Stalks - Triffids City: Usborne's That's not my...
