01:15 As a child seeing Doll's House for the first time,
01:18 I was always fascinated by the books.
01:21 The idea of actually seeing these very prominent writers,
01:26 actually seeing their writing,
01:29 was sort of huge excitement,
01:31 actually looking at it and thinking,

01:36 I know in the future, the future generation,
01:39 are going to feel the same about all of you.
01:42 They're going to look at these books and say,
01:43 "Goodness, how wonderful."
01:45 I'm thrilled by this and I hope you'll all be very, very proud of what you've done.
01:50 Also, wonderful writers.

01:58 So congratulations to all of you.
02:01 Again, thank you very, very much for all your hard work.
02:05 I hope your eyesight has deteriorated.
02:11 It certainly might have.
02:13 Anyway, thank you.
02:16 That would be appreciated.
02:18 Ma'am, perhaps you could put that piece of paper there.
