BRITISH POEM
When I come home
Dear folk o’ mine
We’ll drink a cup
Of olden wine;
And yet however
Rich it be
No wine will taste so go to me
As English air

HEARTS
IN THE HIGHLANDS by Ruth Axtell Morren is a delightful read. Set in England and
Scotland, the story weaves in an interesting backdrop of archeology and society
in the late Victorian era. The romance is refreshingly written in a slow
tantalizing manner that will keep you avidly reading to the very end.
Warning—don’t start this book late at night, otherwise you might never sleep!

LOVE AFFAIR WITH ENGLAND by Susan Allen Toth is a must read for any self-respecting
Anglophile. This true story chronicles a woman’s passion for all things English.
Not just another travel memoir, Ms. Toth brings England vividly to life in
description and settings but also in that singular passion that all British lovers
understand. Come stand in the rain soaked streets of London, walk the paths of
the Lake District, and take a trip to the seaside village of Exmoor and fall in
love all over again.

MOVIE
Elizabeth
Gaskell’s WIVES AND DAUGHTERS is a deliciously engaging costume drama in the
tradition of Jane Austen. Set in a richly portrayed society, well stocked with
eccentric nobles and marriage minded mothers, the story centers around 17 year
sold Molly Gibson, the only daughter of a respected country doctor. The well-ordered
world of her childhood is complicated by her father’s decision to remarry.
Molly’s faltering efforts to cope with an impossible stepmother, a charming stepsister,
and a promising romance makes for an absorbing movie.
