It's a very dry read, and to be honest I haven't gotten through the whole thing! I intend to though . . . someday. You might notice the author is listed as MRS Georgie Sheldon, and the other authors simply use their first initials, a very smart business move back in those days. Women authors weren't taken very seriously, and hiding a female name allowed them to be published and read without prejudice.
What a cool looking cake! And even cooler books. And don't forget, some women still hide behind intials. Ever hear of JK Rowling? Nowadays though, I think it's the opposite, where men have a harder time. I'm thinking up some initials for myself...
Some of the best cakes are the one's made that are made with love! Liam's cake looks amazing!I he had so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI love old books, vintage, unique, gorgeous :)
Thanks for joining our Unbirthday party :)
Thanks Jen!
ReplyDeleteYes old (non classic) books can be great. Often deliciously un-PC. Esther the Fright? sounds wonderful.

ReplyDeleteI notice 'The Long Portage' is a library book Amy.... Hope that isn't accruing charges... Happy birthday Liam.
ReplyDeleteOh Matt, that's funny! I know how you feel, and hope good things are coming your way soon.
ReplyDeleteYes Tom, it is indeed an old library book. But I bought it at a book-sale, or something . . . cough, I can't remember. : )o
