I often wonder how many literary treasures are lost in time.

DeleteI had no idea his wife was a writer. That cover is in a handsome old style.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely title, i wonder if the stories and wisdom in the essays have stood that test of time.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful and intriguing book cover. Where did you find this book?

ReplyDeleteIt looks like a beautiful book. I wonder why the title though? Perhaps it relates to something in one of the essays or stories... I like many of the old book titles, they don't read as if they were made up by a PR company!
ReplyDeleteYour last sentence sums up how I feel, Jenny.
