Book excerpt: Pre-order Sandi Toksvig's new novel FRIENDS OF DOROTHY now - coming in September 2024 The long-awaited memoir from one of Britain's best-loved characters - presenter of QI, former host of The Great British Bake Off 'Wise and kind... part celebration, part confession... it will make you miss your stop' Observer 'A fun-filled, fact-packed, memorable ride' Sunday Times 'Life-affirming and addictive' Sunday Express Between the Stops is a sort of a memoir, my sort. It's about a bus trip really, because it's my view from the Number 12 bus. From a brief history of lady gangsters at Elephant and Castle to anecdotes about boarding school, this is the long-awaited memoir from one of Britain's best-loved characters. Presenter of QI, former host of The Great British Bake Off, writer, broadcaster, activist and comic on stage, screen and radio for nearly forty years: this is an autobiography with a difference - as only Sandi Toksvig can tell it. A funny and moving trip through memories, musings and the many delights on the number 12 route, Between the Stops is also an inspiration to us all to get off our phones, look up and talk to each other because as Sandi says: 'some of the greatest trips lie on our own doorstep'.
