Next up in my reading list (or to be more correct, listening list) is the newest memoir of British actress Miriam Margolyes, Oh, Miriam! This volume comes in quick succession after her autobiography This Much Is True which came out in September 2021. Many will know Margolyes as Professor Sprout from multiple Harry Potter movies, but I first knew her as Lady Whiteadder in the Blackadder television sitcom. More recently, she played housekeeper Mrs. Fisk in the feature film The Man Who Invented Christmas, which tells the tale of Charles Dickens as he wrote A Christmas Carol. An appropriate casting, as Margolyes is an enthusiastic patron of the Charles Dickens Museum in London. I'm looking forward to this book, which promises to relate many of Miriam's most amusing anecdotes, for which she is justly famous as an entertaining talk show guest.
