Godmersham Lost Sheep Society: Reading with Austen

Much of the Godmersham Park Library collection was dispersed in the 20th century. In the last 5 years, @LostSheepGPL have discovered and returned 13 books from the Godmersham Library to Chawton. This bee-keeping manual is their latest donation, now on display in the Library.

Orlando has free access the month of March - info here: janeausteninvermont.blog/2024/03/01/orl…

The Godmersham Park Library had a copy of this book by William Wake, now a Lost Sheep - but here is a copy noted on #HerBook with an interesting provenance [ignore name error in post title]: …dernfemalebookownership.wordpress.com/2022/11/02/wil…
