There's No Literati Quite Like... E!
| And Bookee! But ''E'' came first, waaaaaaay first; and since it is a lady that we are writing about here, primarily, all the more reason to have ''E'' coming first here, as well...! 
EDITH HAMILTON  
was born in 1867 and it wouldn't be until the time 
when she turned a quite venerable sixty-three years of age that she finally saw her life's work PUBLISHED. 
And, nowadays, that life's work is readily available  
ENTIRELY FOR FREE 
fifty years after her death on this wondrous world wide web of ours courtesy of a non-profit website called 
GetBookee.org  
(well... sort of!) 
Check out the previews below... 
But, first, read on! 
The one book in particular,  
from that remarkable life's body of work,   
that this luminous blogger affectionates  
above all  
would have to be this one  
right here:  
The version still adorning my personal library today  
is still graced by the very same cover (dust-jacket, really)  
that you see above, here, indeed;  
classic all the way, this tome is truly  
the consummate, all-inclusive  
compendium of classical mythology  
juxtaposed to Christianity Thought  
and that is one of the many reasons  
I do adore this book!  
Now get a little taste of it,  
if your school's curriculum  
wasn't good enough  
to have forced you to do so,  
already, years ago...! 
The little taste that follows  
in the form of a swell  
summarized preview  
of the contents of this classic  
is, again, thanks to  
GetBookee.org
