        <ptr target="ukred-1818">[According to Flora Thompson], ""Modern writers who speak of the booklessness of the poor at that time must mean books as possessions...there were always books to borrow""... One could borrow Pamela and the Waverley novels from a neighbour, Christies Old Organ from the Sunday School library. Her uncle, a shoemaker, had once carted home from a country-house auction a large collection of books that no-one would buy: novels, poetry, sermons, histories, dictionaries. She read him Cranford while he worked in his shop... Later she could borrow from her employer (the village postmistress) Shakespeare and Byron"s Don Juan, as well as Jane Austen, Dickens and Trollope from the Mechanics" Institute library."</ptr>
