I'm not familiar with Castle Rackrent, so I'll be taking a look at your post. I'm envious of the out-of-print materials that's available for e-readers these days.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-63613570799838800462012-01-22T09:55:08.025-06:002012-01-22T09:55:08.025-06:00Interesting.

I know nothing about her, have Heir of Redclyffe on the Christmas Kindle, but haven't read it yet - I read Maria Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent, and ended up with way to much info, and had touble making it fit the 'prompt' format, so I did it as an odinary blog post.Christine Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814026435889782750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-31571481949665980062012-01-21T07:46:40.300-06:002012-01-21T07:46:40.300-06:00I'm hoping to read more of her work.

I must look into one of her novels.<br />Thank you for participating in this month's prompt!Katherine Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07257141301467724458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-83593613824942615662012-01-17T19:30:10.275-06:002012-01-17T19:30:10.275-06:00At first I thought it was a story about ancient ch...At first I thought it was a story about ancient cheese - until I remembered that Cheddar is a town.<br /><br />What may finally convince me to get an e-reader is all the older books that are now available - and so many of them free!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-70944679420351926812012-01-16T21:21:35.178-06:002012-01-16T21:21:35.178-06:00I've heard of Charlotte Yonge, but knew nothin...I've heard of Charlotte Yonge, but knew nothing about her. She was very prolific! I see that some of her novels are available for the Kindle including The Heir of Redclyffe, so I'm not going to read your review in case I get a chance to read it. The Tale of Cheddar book is not one of the novels available to download ... darn! That one sounds intriguing :)Anbolyn (Gudrun's Tights)http://gudrunstights.comnoreply@blogger.com
