And April is the Literary month, too

April 23rd is the date chosen by UNESCO as World Book and Copyright day... because it's the death day of both Cervantes and Shakespeare. [Wikipedia lists the fascinating fact that although both died on 23rd April 1616, Cervantes actually pre-deceased Shakespeare by ten days ... because Spain followed the Gregorian Calendar, and England the Julian.]
That sounds like a great excuse for a lazy Sunday this weekend, curled up with a good book ... thank you, UNESCO!
And what an appropriate date for Elizabeth Goudge to have, as the eve of her birthday. Not only can you find numerous references to both these great writers in her work, but she too was personally responsible for getting people reading across the world... her many books translated into umpteen languages.
So perhaps I'll make it a favourite Elizabeth Goudge for my lazy Sunday ... The Little White Horse? The Dean's Watch? A City of Bells? ... spoilt for choice!
