I remember in one of my Shakespeare classes learning that the Victorians made "King Lear" have a happy ending--no dead, kind daughters in their version!Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17463909263863141765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26591767.post-1452732093468691562007-09-16T17:16:00.000-07:002007-09-16T17:16:00.000-07:00Heather, thank you ever so much for the podcast. ...Heather, thank you ever so much for the podcast. I love listening to the stories you've presented. I've been listening since episode one and unless you subject me to Twain, I'll be here for all you provide. Honestly, I don't think I could have made it through TOTC without the explanations. I enjoy many classical authors, but find them tedious to read. Your narratives have been fantastic.

Thank you so much for sharing with bookish crafters!<BR/><BR/>At first, I was put off by the idea of *Frankenstein*, but I think your point is a good one, and since I've never read it, it's time I gave poor Mrs. Shelley a chance. And then (I hope I hope), it'll be time for *Little Women*.<BR/><BR/>AndAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26591767.post-61439704918345465612007-09-10T01:25:00.000-07:002007-09-10T01:25:00.000-07:00Just had to leave you a comment saying thanks for ...Just had to leave you a comment saying thanks for the podcast. I love listening to the classics. I've never had the opportunity to read these books so it's very nice to listen to them while knitting. Thank you again!

When I went to their annual meeting in 2005, I was greeted by a life-sized standup of Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle - the latter with her face cut out so we could all get our picture taken with Darcy. The meeting also involved wine, a Rocky Horror Sense and Sensibility, wine, a Just-the-Good-Bits Pride & Prejudice, and oh, wine.
