When I do eventually track it down, I hope it's as lovely an edition as yours ... what wonderful endpapers. <br />So hard to decide on a favourite Whipple. Like Rachel, I loved Greenbanks, and it's very hard to choose between Mr Knight and Someone at a Distance.maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761873841609819775.post-22580545934855312122010-05-05T02:04:50.106+08:002010-05-05T02:04:50.106+08:00I've yet to read any Whipple, and more and mor...I've yet to read any Whipple, and more and more I feel that I'm missing out.
