The Bluebeard Room is a Nancy Drew mystery story but is one of the last before the series becomes the Nancy Drew Files, so it has a slightly different feel.

England in Literature | John Pfordresher, Gladys V. Veidemanis

Day 21: #wander #wandering #wanderer @LazyDays #poetrymatters #poetry

This is from my high school literature textbook. I fell in love with this one, and it was the 1st time I realized that people centuries ago felt the same emotions and passions that we do now. Human nature hasn't changed. A different translation: http://www.aimsdata.com/tim/anhaga/WandererMain1.htm?p=1548061026867

zsuzsanna_reads Thanks for this! 5y

zsuzsanna_reads Just read it and the free translation is not nearly as good. I'll have to find a book that has this. 😍 5y

Emilymdxn This is the poem that made me want to study medieval literature! Love it so much 5y

TiredLibrarian @zsuzsanna_reads I know - I couldn't find this translation online, and the one in my book has so many notes around it that it's hard to read! 😕 5y

TiredLibrarian @Emilymdxn ❤ Did you study medieval lit? That would be so interesting! I waited throughout my undergrad years for a Chaucer course to be offered & missed it (they ran it the year after I graduated😕) 5y

Emilymdxn Oh that‘s so disappointing! Yeah my degree was English literature but I only studied medieval, I did old English, Middle English, textual history, historical linguistics, medieval welsh, medieval romance and a dissertation on medieval dream visions - so very medieval! 5y

Cathythoughts This is amazing ... love your notes & love the words ♥️👍🏻 5y

The Wander Society | Keri Smith

#SolviturAmbulando. I love this book! The overall message is a good one to reflect on and circle back to.

Honest confession: I'm still not sure the Wander Socety exists or was it a clever invention by author/publisher? I tried to get into her Wreck This Journal, but it was too contrived for me. Which led to my questioning of this book. Yet, thee message is a solid one and I still love this book!
