Dear people-in-the-know,
I joined @Librarybelle ‘s #192025 challenge, and thought I might actually do a little bit of planning. That went as well as expected.
The first book I wanted to put on the list was Mapp & Lucia (the book, not the series). StoryGraph insists it was originally published in 1912 (Yay! Time travel! Uh, no.), Wikipedia says 1931. My copy says 1935.
Would anyone like to declare an official publication date?
Thank you 😊
Librarybelle A Bodleian Libraries blog entry from 2020 lists 1931 as the original publication date…I‘d go with 1931! 3y
RaeLovesToRead I declare 1931 3y
rockpools @Librarybelle @RaeLovesToRead Well if the Bod and Rae both say so… 1931 it is. Thanks both - I somehow hadn‘t found that blog Jess. 3y

LeahBergen You made me curious so I checked my Folio Society edition. 1931 it is! 3y
rockpools @LeahBergen You (and your folios) *were* the person-in-the-know I was thinking of! So now we know. Thanks Leah! 3y
