Jacquelyn GreigBooks, Did You Know?, GOTHICLeave a comment

This was written by Horace Walpole in the 1700’s. Hang on…..1764.

It’s said to be the very first “GOTHIC” novel ever.

I have a copy but…to me it’s on the shelf with the likes of Dickens and Hardy and Waugh etc.

When (LOL) I have an entire month in total isolation, I may finish it (?)
