Just off the top of my head, I loved North and South and Richard Armitage as much as everybody, but you don't see Elizabeth Gaskell having such following and hundreds of variations written around her novels!Joana Starneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150637735779894393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954683999390981517.post-19304321935274315002013-12-16T19:57:49.042+01:002013-12-16T19:57:49.042+01:00Thanks for the giveaway.Thanks for the giveaway.schildshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04667380841498926774noreply@blogger.com
