Very pretty! Where's the quote from in the final icon?

Thank you! :-) They do look quite nice all together, don't they? *pats icons happily*

The quotes in the last three are all from Joan Aiken's Midnight Is A Place (the image being from the 1970s TV version).

They do indeed! Good work!

Ah. I think I found that on Amazon the other day and stuck it on my wishlist...

I hadn't read it as much as some of Joan Aiken's others, because the library didn't have it in stock for long & I never really got my own copy (till now). Reading it as an adult was a bit of a revelation. (I was such a dense reader when I was younger!!) Love it, though. And Joan Aiken generally, but MiaP is probably my favourite now - I'd reread some of the others while I was working & admired her all over again. She has clarity and pace and quite often they're a bit of a romp, but she has this way with words, also with fairy tale/folk tale elements and a streak of inventive wildness that isn't quite like anyone else.

(Or did you mean the TV serial? Well... It's quite fun, too. But cheap. Very, very cheap. To a level that is quite ridiculous. :lol: But with David Collings as the most interesting character in the book and unexpected Ron Moody, so not too bad.)

Love the hairstyle icons of The Way We Live Now! And #15 is delicious!

Thanks. The hairstyles in that serial really are quite something!

Aw, thank you. :-) I'm so glad I decided to give it a try - it's been such a boost.
