Wikipedia

I have been looking at Wikipedia and am finding it very interesting.

Images and Stuff

LibraryThings

One in particular was "Trespassers at Charlcotte" by Gillian Avery. I found it but didn't put it in. I could have spent hours playing around with it. I might even get around to playing with it at home, if I can remember my password!!!!
