These books were on show at Belvoir Castle, England, within a cordoned off display room. I love literature & if I could I would have stepped over the cord, pulled out a couple of books, sat down on one of the musty old chairs, & read the afternoon away with a cuppa tea and a biccy.
Below is the stately room I took the shot in
