Seeing my book on the shelf at the library brings me so much joy! I think this was even more exciting for me than seeing it at the bookstore for the first time ( though that was wonderful too). πŸ₯ΉπŸ€βœ¨

When I get home, I'll look again and see what it says. 🀍

I did my MA in English Lit (specialized in Gothic Studies) and when I saw this book, I had to have it. πŸ€πŸ•―οΈπŸͺ¦

Thank you! I'm not sure about the printing information, it doesn’t have any publisher listed. There are two other stories in this book by other early authors (can't remember without looking). I found it on Abe Books, I believe. It's a jewel! 🀍

One of the oldest books I own. This edition is from 1800, β€œThe Castle of Otranto”. First published in 1764.

Thanks Jane. I’m doing well and I’m glad to see all your beautiful books again!
It was hard for me to leave as well. Slowly though, I’m finding people who have moved over here. 🀍

The butterfly on load is now dark if you are on dark mode! No more bright white flashes.

My only question β€” is this now a moth? πŸ€”
