The vocabulary is wonderfully rich and the expressions used throughout, are sheer perfection. The speech in the 18th century was so much more pleasant and elegant than that of today, even in children's literature. <br /> I am enjoying a lovely read here, on your blog, you are a wonderful writer.<br /> I make the bookmarks you mention in an earlier post. I create miniature paper cuttings which I then place between 2 layers of glass.<br /> Thank you for your visit to my little world of Hopalong Hollow.

I have now done so and I'm really enjoying it! My copy is lavishly illustrated by Hugh Thompson - there is a drawing on almost every page. <br /><br />I love the idea of the bookmark. It would be fun to go the craft store and look at all the little charms and pendants they have for jewelry making. I'll have to do that some time!Laura Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485192062219909619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-54191237215702661852011-11-19T10:39:33.290-05:002011-11-19T10:39:33.290-05:00This is why I love to read books from the Lampligh...This is why I love to read books from the Lamplighter collection of rare & old books.

I too am much more familiar with literature from the 19th century. <br /><br />Speaking of book recommendations, I read Village School and Village Affairs. Miss Read is a delight! I just finished The Christmas Mouse, and am now wanting to add it to my own collection. My father is a retired school principal who, I think, will enjoy reading these books as well. So, you see, you've helped with my Christmas shopping this year. Many thanks! <br /><br />I'm curious about 18th century literature. A search of our shelves has revealed that we are lacking in this area. Our only titles are within the pages of two anthologies. I thought maybe Hawthorne, but he was born early in the 1800's. <br /><br />You've given me something to think about today.<br /><br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-46870199507863711472011-11-17T12:19:37.291-05:002011-11-17T12:19:37.291-05:00Thank you for the book recommendation...I will be ...Thank you for the book recommendation...I will be looking for it at our local library.<br />Beautiful bookmarks!

I have not read it, but ordered it from our library (and Suzanne, I was glad to see your comment about Hugh Thompson, the copy I requested was illustrated by him). Can't wait for it to come through the system. It will have to wait, though, for the five books I am determined to finish by the end of November. I have a terrible habit of piling up partly read books. This book will be my treat for completing them. The bookmarks are a great gift idea, too, thanks!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018822162196436975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-12237481565049117542011-11-17T11:01:34.715-05:002011-11-17T11:01:34.715-05:00This sounds like a perfect winter book for the fir...This sounds like a perfect winter book for the fireside.
