A grandfather who heads a family of avid readers was the lucky winner of a prize draw organised by a new book shop in The Glades Shopping Centre.

Fred Ganney, of Pendragon Road, Bromley, was presented with £500 worth of book vouchers by Ottakars bookshop on February 5.

After making off with a hefty stack of volumes for himself and his wife, Mr Ganney said he planned to return at his leisure to buy some more, including encyclopaedias for his seven grand-children.
