This was a marvelous book!

It's strange to me, that Lorna Doone is his best known work, his others seem pretty top notch to me! I'm really enjoying this one, and the illustrations are a big plus!

Some men there are whom it is a pleasure to observe at their daily work. I have heard my grandfather say, when he was a boy, one man could do more work in a day than is now to be got out of three. And the cause he assigned for this, was the wild cram and pressure of pugnacious education. "the more a jug gurgles, the less it pours," he said.
