Aww, that's very sweet of you! I think before I asked such a thing, I should at least check the library and I rather suspect I could get a bargain on Amazon that would be cheaper than the likely postage for sending things across an ocean. But I do appreciate it, and if I get desperate I shall let you know. (At the moment, I have a Daisy Dalrymple to try to easy reading and Patrick O'Brian to carry on with in less easy reading. And a large TBR pile.)

As ever, I will be interested to hear how it turns out. It's sort of reading by proxy!
