What wonderful, detailed drawings, so beautifully colored in shades that are true to the period. This is evocative, taking me through the walls of documents and wills into the everyday lives of the people and the time I’m studying. Thank you, Ben!

And thank you, Gentle Author, for giving us all so much pleasure every morning, with your work!

All the best,
Sonia

At one point they stood opposite the house, higher up as I recall, and he said how it was about this time of day… and then said to look at one of the windows in his house. There was a woman in period dress waving back at them. My friend was quite disconcerted as she swore there had been no one in the house but I wonder to this day whether it was a little piece of theater. Would love to hear from others on this
