the old bodleian & the radcilffe camera : taking oaths and basically studying where hermoine did

yes, this is the library i get to use this summer,

and, yes, i had to take an oath (promising, among other things, not to light fire to anything).

this place is closed off to tourists (mostly)

and is a wonderful place to study.

the duke humfrey's library is where i favorite wizards & witches spent their time here.

no big deal. (not to mention all the killer original manuscripts this library owns!).

so much more to show you all:

a shakespeare play in stratford starring one of these brilliant actors,

a visit to a place that inspired this book and this book

see you soon!
