Description

1923 EXQUISITE Essays of Elia Charles Lamb English Lit Old China Dream 2in1

“A book reads the better which is our own, and has been so long known to us, that we know the topography of its blots, and dog's ears, and can trace the dirt in it to having read it at tea with buttered muffins.” ― Charles Lamb, Essays of Elia

‘Essays of Elia’ is a collection of essays written by Charles Lamb, first published in 1823. The Elia referred to in these essays is Lamb himself, a pseudonym Lamb gave himself. While all of the essays are well-regarded, two of them are greatly admired and well-known – “Dream-Children” and “Old China”.
