Thank you for adding me to your list of interesting libraries. I am happy to return the compliment as I don't come across many libraries that share my love of Tove Jansson, Barbar Pym and Margaret Oliphant. You might look at the Virago Modern Classics and New York Review of Book groups I think you would find others who share an interest in many of these writers. Cheers, Maren
