Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.
Hi Roni, the link: a very interesting literary appraisal - thanks!
I hadn't appreciated that Harriet Beecher Stowe had stayed with the Cropper's before just now.
William Roscoe who is mentioned in the article also wrote The Nymph of the Dingle which is copied in post#16 on the Dingle Glen in Old Photos thread.
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."... ... ... Mark Twain.
And there's me thinking this forum is full of competing geeks - yet to me this single post outgeeks them all! This'll keep 'em busy for weeks!... Harriet Beecher Stowe and Nathaniel Hawthorne having a Dingle Bank connection indeed! Defoe's encounter with Lancashire Clowns! Who knew about Tom Paine's bones?
Roscoe living and dying in Lodge Lane... Where's the Blue Plaque?
Congratulations, oh Queen of The Geeks!
I got trapped in there, you keep going don't you!? I was shocked to read about Tom Paine's bones. Never heard that before. That was a facinating read. I am shocked I did not know this stuff already.
Queen of the Geeks, I have to tell the person who called me a geek who herself is a super geek!! If I put her job title up here it would scream GEEK!!!
