Thanks for checking, Anisha. The book is probably not available anymore.

yeah, this is the beginning of where things are going, so I don't put too much reliance on it but it might be a starting point

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

That sounds like a book I would enjoy, Anisha.

I was thinking the same thing but I cannot locate anything about a book she has done with Garden in the title. If you have any luck will you let me know?

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

I haven't found anything yet, but I'm going to keep trying.

[Lesle, Appalachain Bibliophile]

I am too. Something. I even wonder if it was maybe a short story.

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

She did write a lot of short stories too.

yeah, it does sound interesting Rosemarie.

and this is an interesting thought, it always surprises when I look into a writer from the past how much they have actually written.

I'm glad no bullet took you out. You've been through a rough few years, but I'm happy to hear your life is back on track and to see you here again.

I have a question about the non-fiction fundamentals.

I'm currently reading Unruly: The Ridiculous History of England's Kings and Queens by David Mitchell.

Obviously, the book itself is very new - written in 2023, and some of the subject matter is modern, as it also describes Queen Elisabeth's reign, but the majority of the book is about England's prior rulers, starting in post-Roman times. Would this book therefore be eligible to use in the discussions of NTLTRC?

[Samantha, Creole Literary Belle]

That is a tricky one, Anne. For NF we want the subject to have passed away at least 50 years ago, if about a person. With the book delving into Queen Elizabeth II's reign, my initial thought is no, but I am curious to hear what Lesle and Rosemarie think on the subject. It sounds like the weight of the book is historical, so even for MY full answer, I'll look into the book myself to learn more about it. I say all this as the one who moderates the NF reads.

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

I'll go by whatever you decide, Samantha.

[Lesle, Appalachain Bibliophile]

Samantha I agree with Rosemarie. It is your topic. Whatever you think is best for your NF.

I was thinking about what you said here Rosemarie, and I'm wondering why it wouldn't be available when we have gutenberg and kind of edging towards digital print, I am not saying it's what everyone wants but digital publishing changes how publishers work.

So any boook / work that is elegible in the public domain, why isn't it available and why isn't it easy to find?

Obvi..."

I'm not sure if this helps, I have seen this book in passing, heard bits about it, I've taken a quick look at it's content it covers history from King Arthur to Elizabeth I --- c.590 - 1603 BCE, so ends at Elizabethan times, but the Elizabeth that was living the same time as Shakespeare, roughly.

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

Thank you. That helps a lot, Anisha. It definitely fits the time period.

Oh, it's my bad 😅 still haven't finished the book and just read Elisabeth in passing, missed the part where it said Elisabeth I. Thanks for checking Anisha!

Anisha, that is very helpful. It totally qualifies!
