Tales of the Wild and the Wonderful [1825], by Mary Diana Dods 65597 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/5/5/9/65597 ] [Files: 65597-0.txt; 65597-h.htm] For those wishing to know: published anonymous in 1825 this book is often mis-attributed to George Borrow. Prof. Betty T. Bennett was able to work that it was written by a lady called Mary Diana Dods, who became the husband of Isabella Robinson, and was a very close friend of Mary Shelley. All the best, David, Very sunny England
