Was the story a product of some English Lady's bored imagination?
Did she have to write to earn a living?
How many pennies would she have received for this work?
So precious and beautiful!
I'm glad my sister takes home strays!
I like to take my photos and download them straight from the camera to my posts. No cropping on these and no alterations.
Maybe they're not perfect, but I feel good presenting them this way.

What a treasure! There is just nothing like old, old books. If only they could talk!
I think your photographs of this book are perfect, and it's so wonderful to share it with us. I am thrilled too that your camera is so excellent that I can be here looking over your shoulder!
