I am dubbed Mark Wordsworm. I am a Hallmark bookmark, serial number 95 HBM 80-1. At a guess, I’m around 25 years old. I spend most of my time inside a book (well, duh) while my Travelling Companion sees the world.
My exact origins are lost in the mists of time and geography. My Travelling Companion picked me up (lucky thing, She is) in a bookshop called “The Bookworm” somewhere in South Africa — Cape Town or Rivonia, most likely. The year was probably earlier than 1986. Putting modesty aside, I haven’t changed much. Alas, I can’t say the same for Her.
Since then I’ve lived in South Africa, England, the Netherlands and Australia and travelled the world. In this blog, I’ll tell you about my travels and pass on some acquired wisdom. A tad tedious, you think? Wait and see.
The Travelling Companion goes by the name of Sarah Maddox. She has her own blog at ffeathers.
Do you know anything about me?
Please drop me a comment if you’ve seen others like me or if you can pinpoint my age more exactly than I can.

Mr. Worm,
How, if available, could I apply to be an assistant to your work or colleagues of yours or yourself. I would love to research these gigantic crocs. If there is any job available in your field, please let know about it if you could.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for travelling guide
Hey! I think I might have had one of your brethren worms when I was about ten. Unfortunately he crawled into some campy mystery novels and was lost forever. Keep up the travels and the blogging Mr. 95 HBM 80-1!
Hallo Hieronymo
Worm sibs, now there’s an interesting thought. We were all fairly close at one stage, but then we scattered to far-flung corners. We do share a family trait of getting lost in a good book. Perhaps the campy mystery lover (and by that I mean the lover of campy mysteries) will resurface and delight you all. Much as I have done.
I’ve so much enjoyed having you drop by my blog, Hieronymo. I paid a call to your own blog and am greatly impressed by the richness and variety of content.
With respectful regards
Mark Wordsworm
