A Book Every Day

The Fireside Book, a anthology of poems and illustrations, is collected by David Hope annually. Conservative in nature, it harks back to a time when cars were a novelty and decimal currency was just an idea (at least in England, where this is published). You don’t need a fireplace nor a cold afternoon to enjoy this one. A thing that I learned was that David Hope is near untraceable on the internet. I couldn’t find anything about him. I know that he’s been collating his Fireside Books since at least 1974, as I have one from that year.

Progress so far: 1 Day, 1 Book, 99 Pages.
