Thoughts consequent on scrolling through a list of 900 library catalog results
1. "Oliver Optic" may be one of the best pseudonyms ever. (It would work great for a blog, too.)
2. You know that you're looking at a Henty title if it starts with a preposition. In this, Out that...
3. There's a novel about Armageddon in the children's literature collection?!
4. I was unaware that John Galt had written a novel about the Wandering Jew. No, not that John Galt.
5. It's amazing how novels about violent criminals always wind up with subtitles like "A Tale of the Good Old Times" or "A Tale of Merrie Olde England" or something of the sort.
6. I really should get around to reading Gwendolen: A Sequel to George Eliot's Daniel Deronda (1878).
