haha - the list was made by 'bettie' yet I have only just voted on it!
Have made some adjustments to the description box. I inherited this list at some point.:O)
My vote for "Gerontius" is shown as being 4 out of 5, but I think if I had found it on the first page, it would have been No 1. A wonderful book, especially for those who love Elgar's music.
