This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands,-- This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England. ~~William Shakespeare, Richard III

The Book of Eleanor, Pamela Kaufman

I protested. "That sounds like tyranny, Mother. Isn't Henry supposed to be different from King Stephen? Won't he start another insurrection?"

I was in a school for jobelins: the thief presents the true owner with the stolen goods, then demands a reward.

  1. How are you liking this one? I haven't heard great things about it, but still have it on my wishlist to check out one day.

    My TEASER TUESDAY is from my current read of The Countess and the King by Susan Holloway Scott.
