For this year, I offer a bemusing item: the first fifteen pages of Mr B's novel "Mr. Cantonwine". It's not an easy read, and he's rather self - indulgent, but some of the characters are really interesting. Does make you wonder who or what they were modeling!
Enjoy, wonder, and recall the man behind all the shenanigans, Lionel Barrymore.
Sorry about that.
I have finally been up to researching Mr. B again, and have found some rather nice little items lately! His death anniversary is coming up Nov 15th, so look for material to appear "magically" around that time. In the meantime, I hope both of you are well and staying safe. Mr. B lost one of his baby girls during the Spanish flue epidemic in the teens--he knew something about illness and tragedy. So be good, stay safe, wash your hands!
