Having frist been selected as the Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week, Andrew Billen's 'Short Book' biography of Samuel Johnson has now been mention in by Lindsey Fraser in The Guardian. The Tuesday book review is rather more hidden than it used to be in the paper, and even on the weblink, you'll need to scroll down before you get to the review.
Billen's evocation of the physical man is so effective that his tales of Johnson's perambulations through Britain have an almost cinematic quality.
