The Importance of Being Earnest | Oscar Wilde

This unassuming book is also in the British Library, because it‘s a draft of The Importance of being Earnest by Oscar Wilde! On this page, Algernon announces his engagement to Cecil.

British Library | London, England, United Kingdom (Library)

This folio was collected by two friends after Shakespeare‘s death. Without it, we wouldn‘t have plays like Macbeth and The Tempest. It‘s one the most famous books in the world.

so-so

The only book I managed to read while on holiday. Love the cover (5 stars)but the book...not so much! It had some beautiful writing and incredible imagery but the story was messy, confusing & mostly unfulfilling. It just didn‘t work for me & I was super glad that it was a relatively short book. 2.5 stars. Took an awesome London street art tour and thought I‘d share a pic💜

Cinfhen Did u read this yet @GuiltyFeat ??? 6y

TrishB Is the Bowie mural in Brixton on that tour? 6y

Cinfhen No!!! We were in #Shoreditch @TrishB but I wish we went to Brixton!!! That mural was UH.MAY.ZING ( yes, I went down the Google rabbit hole) 6y

TrishB Aww shame! It is amazing. We visited it not long after Bowie died, a moving experience. The house were he was born is near by too, so we visited that as well! 6y

Cinfhen You‘ve given me an entire itinerary for my next trip @TrishB 😘😘#Bowie #Brixton #Liverpool #PennyLane #Daunts #BritishLibrary 6y

TrishB That sounds pretty perfect 👌😘 6y

LeahBergen I never manage to read a lot on holiday unless it‘s a mindless, beach-type vacation. One book is pretty impressive! 6y

Reviewsbylola There‘s nothing sadder than a gorgeous cover housing a mediocre book. 6y

I did the Treasures Tour at the #BritishLibrary today and I felt like religious people must feel in holy places.

Harry Potter - A Journey Through A History of Magic | British Library

Couldn't, for the life of me, decide what I wanted to read next so I just went for this. You can never go wrong with Harry Potter, right?

Harry Potter: A Journey Through a History of Magic | British Library

I'm really loving the online exhibit of Harry Potter: A History of Magic from the British Library. It's on Google Arts & Culture app which allows one to zoom in extremely closely on the artwork and exhibits 😍
