The Gutenberg Digest

Can I interest you in a little free reading for the weekend, Madame? Mais oui?

Welcome then to another round up of all the reading loveliness to be found recently on Project Gutenberg, available to download for absolutely free and to read wherever fancy takes you…

* Bab: A Sub-Deb by Mary Roberts Rinehart because it is terribly good fun…

* Penelope’s English Experiences by Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin, because it is a series of short turn of the century tales about three American women in London, and it is one in a series of Penelope books. I do, so like a series, don’t you?

*  Bobby In Search of a Birthday by Lebbeus Mitchell , a darling little book just right for reading aloud at your babba’s  bedtime…

* Wired Love by Ella Cheever Thayer: Internet dating long before internet dating existed…

* Consequences by E.M. Delafield. Because it’s by E.M. Delafield and was re-published by Persephone a few years back…

* Vera by Elizabeth Von Armin. Elizabeth writes so beautifully doesn’t she? Always a pleasure…

* Happy House by Betsey Riddle, for with a title like that I can’t resist adding it to my list of must-reads…

* The Story Book Girls by Christina Gowans Whyte… well now I have no idea what it is about, but it has got a chapter titled “Mayonnaise” and I for one, am curious…

So many stories, so little time…x
