I once wanted to but a called Wives and Daughters by Mrs,Gaskell,It’s a very good nineteenth-century novel.I went to three good bookshops in London.No,they said.they hadn’t seen it for years.But they would look for one for me.Three months later I had postvcards from all three shops.each of them had found a copy,So I had to buy three copies of Wives and Daughters. |
