That's good to know! And I agree--it's very cool when they find older works, especially for an author as talented as Shirley Jackson. :)

Badlydone | 184 comments I finally finished The Warden by Anthony Trollope on December 1. It has been a long time since I read a Victorian classic and I enjoyed it very much. This book is about how good intentions to reform something, when carried out without a lot of thought, have unintended consequences that may not the best for anyone concerned.

This is the first in a series of six books set in Barsetshire by Trollope and I look forward to reading the rest of the Barsetshire books.
