It's opinionated and builds on the fiction a lot - but I think that's a good thing, and makes for a more enjoyable read than a straight list of facts.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-49027450588260804862013-06-17T17:13:01.809+01:002013-06-17T17:13:01.809+01:00I hopped on over here when I saw the title because...I hopped on over here when I saw the title because I was not familiar with this story... probably because I am not into short stories anyway. This post is full of information. I love the Folio editions but I fear they are not easily accessible to me due to cost. Lucky you to get a free copy.<br /><br />I am interested in the biography by Laura Thompson. Thanks for the recommendation on that.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.com
