Have you watched the DVD with Renee Ziegler? I felt she turned Beatrice as an adult into an almost comic cartoon type person.<br />If you enjoy that era you may like Lakeland Journels by Dorothy Wordsworth. I think it it is a really fantastic book and bought it from Amazon but the library is bound to have it. The complete volume is packed with colour paintings and b/w sketches of Wordsworth,Coleridge and heaps more. One of the best books I have read.sallyhickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05154172122165110756noreply@blogger.com
