As We Sweep Through the Deep. A Story, Etc.

by Gordon Stables

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored."Ê Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000Ê titles availableÊ (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such asÊ Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

[Emmeline · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a rollicking tale of sea battles, forbidden romance, and an avoidance of the actual plot. It was almost as if it was more focused on the excitement of sea battles than the actual romance and the story. That said, it was humorous and exciting and a good staple for my bookshelf!
