This Week's (Slightly Belated) Acquisitions

  • Robert Player, Oh! Where Are Bloody Mary's Earrings? (Harper, 1972).  Neo-Victorian-cum Tudor-cum Edwardian mystery about a pair of earrings, a gift to Mary I, supposedly invested with miraculous powers.  (Amazon [secondhand])
  • Dorothy Dunnett, King Hereafter (Vintage, 1982).  It's Macbeth, but not Shakespeare's version.  (I was hoping to use this for a Macbeth unit in intro to lit analysis, but it's over 600 pages of closely-printed small type, and...no.)  (Amazon [secondhand])
