Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell 2
Still thoroughly enjoying Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell, just around 50% and prolonging the pleasure as much as possible! BTW, since the novel is set in quite real historical period, started to read about King George III and his infamous offspring.. 15 children, 2 died in infancy, and only one daughter was allowed to get married before her father's death! The rest being 40+ at the moment... They all, poor little princess and princesses, were treated no better than in boarding school, early mornings, studies, almost army air...
And after his eldest son died, the throne was inherited by Victoria, daughter of the 4th son - since no sons of older brothers were issued or survived..
