Just before she was preparing to give it to a museum (or someplace) she looked inside and was surprised to see that it was a novel written in teeny, tiny handwriting. She took it straight to a publisher. So 60 years after it was written, it was published.Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-52498448012917399932018-09-10T15:56:46.695-07:002018-09-10T15:56:46.695-07:00What???

I read it maybe 10 years ago and though it was a recently written novel. Or maybe I just don't remember - always a possibility these days! lol Anyway, thanks for the reminder...and the quotes, too! Maybe I need to re-read this one.<br /><br />Sue<br /><br /><a href="http://bookbybook.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Book By Book</a>Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.com
