I remember when I was a kid, she would mention all these books (like The Water-Babies) I'd never heard of and couldn't possibly get hold of, which was frustrating. So it's really nifty to be able to do that now.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-22110271662218498092021-05-21T10:54:53.036-07:002021-05-21T10:54:53.036-07:00Oh what a wonderful discovery!

It's been a while since I read Nesbit and it hadn't occurred to me that now it may be more possible than ever to look up her literary references (which are many) and actually read them.

I've never read anything by Benson except for Mapp and Lucia and a couple of his ghost stories. Nice to know it's on Gutenberg. I love that the kids in the Nesbit book thought it was ripping, always a good endorsement.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-42430710385911946952021-05-13T08:58:22.800-07:002021-05-13T08:58:22.800-07:00I'm going to have to look for that!

I never thought of looking for that particular book, and glad you did.<br />I discovered The Borribles, by Michael de Larrabeiti, from looking for the book that provided so many of the chapter introductions for Cornelia Funke's Inkheart.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975028272143207826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-50435352362306897602021-05-12T07:46:46.303-07:002021-05-12T07:46:46.303-07:00it's on Gutenberg!it's on Gutenberg!mudpuddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647084124715892324noreply@blogger.com
