Maybe it was mentioned in some of the destroyed letters as we haven’t got the evidence for it? Fascinating! I haven’t been to Great Bookham but have driven through the area on our way to Box Hill.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03945462611904903179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918614552094913262.post-31423932237741695982021-10-30T15:35:49.180+05:302021-10-30T15:35:49.180+05:30Very good Anna.

I am going to have to read Claire Harman's book now.I have researched a bit about Fanny Burney/D'Arblay when she lived in Great Bookham in Surrey, not far from Box Hill. Jane's Aunt and Uncle, the Cookes lived in Great Bookham and new Fanny Burney and her husband quite well. The Reverend Cooke was the local vicar. I find it difficult to think that Jane and Fanny were never introduced to each other when Jane visited her relatives but there you go. Once again, an enjoyable article Anna. Have you ever been to Great Bookham?TONYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07767998391294014275noreply@blogger.com
