Sally Smith on how her lifelong appreciation of this publication began and has endured
When I was a little girl living in Truro in the 1950s, my parents couldn’t afford a daily paper. However, Truro City Library held an auction each year to sell off all the periodicals they had had for their readers.
My dad, a Manchester man, always bid for the Manchester Guardian and Punch magazine, and used to “collect” the precious papers each weekend (Letters, 27 April).
