Timeless

I love a teeny book. I'm not gonna lie--that's what prodded me to pick up this gem. However, the whole thing is so lovely that I metered my time with it to one chapter a day, in order to absorb it more fully. The opening page states that Mr. Hawke found this letter from an ancestor, a knight, who died in 1483. He then had it translated, and on to us it came. Or is it all fabricated? Who knows, and really, who cares? It's a little book with a big punch. Lessons for anyone to live by. The icing on the cake is that the illustrations were done by his wife. It's a keeper.
