Welcome to Litsy!

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.

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.

Looking forward to this!

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💜

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

I'm sitting above 4 floors of highly guarded books... Holy Grounds 😲 #BritishLibrary

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?

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 😍
