Captain Powell-Jones, an officer in the Barsetshires and expert on Welsh languages, eats his food and thinks but poorly of a place where no one has probably heard of Morgan ap Kerrig, or Crumlinwallinwer, or Mewlinwillinwodd. Sir Alwyn Talbot is the ex-Principal of the Board of Tape and Sealing Wax. Barsetshire, the setting of many of Thirkell’s novels, is from the works of Anthony Trollope. Morgan ap Kerrig, Crumlinwallinwer, and Mewlinwillinwodd are mentioned in Charles Dickens’ Bleak House. The Tape and Sealing-Wax Office appears in four books by William Makepeace Thackeray: Vanity Fair, The Newcomes, The Bedford Row Conspiracy, and The History of Samuel Titmarsh and the Great Hoggarty Diamond.
This crossover is one of hundreds covered in my book Crossovers Expanded: A Secret Chronology of the World Volume 3, to be published by Meteor House! Much like the first two volumes, this one is an official and AUTHORIZED companion to Win Scott Eckert's Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World Volumes 1 and 2!
