Corrections and clarifications
Ivor Montagu | Yesteryear novel | Black Death illustration
• The table tennis player and Soviet spy Ivor Montagu was not an Old Etonian; he attended Westminster school (England’s game, the world’s sport: ‘whiff whaff’ comes home, 25 April, Sport, p12).
• Owing to an error in the version of the book supplied by the publisher, a review of Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke said the novel was partly set in 1805, rather than 1855 (God and the gram, 18 April, Saturday magazine, p52).
• A review of a book about the Black Death was accompanied by an illustration from a 14th-century manuscript which was said to show victims of the plague. In fact, they had leprosy (Pandemic days, 11 April, Saturday magazine, p49).
