Nightmare Abbey | Thomas Love Peacock

A satire on Byronism and pessimism in general. A gathering of eccentric characters in a country house, including Mr Glowry, his son Scythrop and Mr Toobad, leads to a series of absurd incidents.

I was in Bredevoort today and searched some times for the #booktoteswap. 🤗 I also entered the gorgeous bookshop and he had made up one shelf with only Folio Society books. 😍

So all you #foliofreaks out there, what do you say to this crop of books? 😍

Jess_Read_This Ohhhh!!!❤️❤️❤️How pretty! I love the spine on London's Characters and Crooks! (Adding it to my in search of list!) Which title is the pretty purple one? 6y
Sarah83 @Jess_Read_This I really love these editions. The purple one is the tagged book. 🤗 6y
HardcoverHearts Amazing!! Nice to find another true fan of their editions. These are wonderful. Great job! 6y
Sarah83 @HardcoverHearts it was even Litsy and other Littens, who showed me these gorgeous editions. I used to search for nice editions at any time, but these are quite extraordinary. 😍 6y
HardcoverHearts @Sarah83 I adore the hunt aspect of searching for these editions. It makes it so worth it when I do come across one that I love. I can‘t wait to see what else you find on your hunts! 6y
Sarah83 @HardcoverHearts have you seen the first Folio post I made? 6y
HardcoverHearts I‘m scrolling back through your posts now, @Sarah83 ! (edited) 6y
Sarah83 @HardcoverHearts there are quite a few. Wait I mark you at that blurb. 6y

Beautiful edition of an 1818 satire. Will be perfect to read with a nice cuppa and my Haunted Manor candle burning. The author used to work for the East Indian Trading Company. After watching Tom Hardy's Taboo, I have a different view point of that particular organization.
