Looks like you've found some great deals.<br /><br />I'm only familiar with Charge of the Light Brigade, the Lady of Shallot, and Crossing the Bar of Tennyson. I probably need to familiarize myself with the poets. A couple of familiar lines are from his poems: "'Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all", "Theirs not to reason why, / Theirs but to do and die."<br /><br />I had heard of the MacBride books a few years ago, and like you, was a little suspicious of them. It's good to know he actually knew the family. I haven't read any of his books but I would love to start with this one, as I've just been reading about the time Laura and Almanzo settled on Rocky Ridge farm. So I'd love to enter your giveaway.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903409844961124425.post-38151501229712371902012-02-07T09:59:38.209-05:002012-02-07T09:59:38.209-05:00Wow-what a book lover's dream!

I am trying to purge my house of books, but I would have to pick up more if I went to such a sale. there are so many books to read!<br /><br />Please, sign me up for the giveaway. I would love to read this one with you.

I love the Dear America series.<br /><br />It's a shame the store was going out of business.<br /><br />I can't really help with the encouragement on Tennyson...........<br /><br />I'm curious about the follow on series now.Ticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970101432834731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903409844961124425.post-80355374288860314292012-02-07T07:12:48.343-05:002012-02-07T07:12:48.343-05:00Though I really can't take you up on the chall...Though I really can't take you up on the challenge to get you to read Tennyson...I can tell you one of his poems "The Lady of Shalott" is what Anne and her friends (in the movie, Anne of Green Gables) are reading/reciting in the boat scene where she gets stuck and needs rescued. And, I have a print of a painting based on that poem. But since I have yet to read it, that's the extent of my knowledge :-)<br />Great finds at the book store - bummer they are going out of business.Doriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03179813434836257858noreply@blogger.com
