The Treasures in the Trunk

Posted in The Treasures in the Trunk

   I went back to the GoodWill last evening to get those books. To my dismay, Shakespeare was gone not to be found. We did how ever puchase "Mrs.Miniver"  and a few other titles. Like we found three of the books from the Shakespeare "Tragedy" series. These were books that were made in about 1900-1910. We also found an old copy of "The Deerslayer" and we found the book "The Egg and I". I havent really looked at those to books yet so age is not yet found.

It is very interesting what I found written in our copy of  "Mrs.Miniver". It read this:

Elwood B. Lynch Jr.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Tragic English Novel

of World War II

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Purchased by me from

Sears Roebuck & Co.

Los Angeles, California

January 22, 1944

  Here are a few photos.

This is "Mrs.Miniver"

This is "The Deerslayer"

These are the Shakespeare "Tragedy" series books

(They are dark books so they do not come out very clear.)

  Well I need to go feed animals. In the words of Sir Winston Churchill, "However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results."
