Paper and ink

Romeo and Juliet

I inherited this copy of Romeo and Juliet from my gran who died earlier this year. On the first page she dated it January 1942, when she would have been 20 years old. And here I am, 68 years later, reading through it and feeling a connection with Gran through nothing more than paper, ink and someone else’s words.

Another point for the ‘against’ column in the great e-Reader debate.
