Great read!
This is a wonderful read and the book arrived in perfect condition. I bought a second copy for a friend and we thoroughly enjoyed reading this 100-year-old novel.

I just re-read this again recently and was charmed afresh. I think it is a lovely story. It reminded me of other books written in this format I have enjoyed: 84 Charing Cross Rd, The Guernsey Literary and Potatoe Peel Pie Society, etc.
