This is a strange combination of things. It is a play from the late 19th century written in verse. It is sort of a romantic-comedy and sort of a tragedy at the same time. It has some quite clever scenes. However, it is sort of quite a bit fluffy and is written as a crowd-pleaser. Despite the fa...
Because my family has always had loads of books, we have a special closet that contains all the ones that won't fit in the bookshelves. Unlike places I live - which I've always crammed full of bookshelves - my mother likes to have books kept in certain areas. So there are very nice looking old books...

I have never seen this in a movie version. Huh, just realized that. I'll have to look for one. Seen a few stage versions and read the play in high school. Such a pretty story, and so sad too.
