Evidence:
'Friday 10th September Today my friend Pat bought Kingsley?s ?Heroes? for Monica. I am reading it myself and then it goes away, to be out on her shelf, which I am planning with some thought, and, I hope, taste for childish requirements. It would make a nice subject for an essay. Teddie and I already have following for our childrens? bookshelf ? Kinsgley?s ?Heroes?, ?Alice in Wonderland? and ?Through the Looking Glass?. A complete ?Hans Andersen? also a selection, beautifully illustrated by Dulac Lamb?s ?Tales from Shakespeare? and Hope-Moncrieff?s ?Classic Myth and Legend?. It is a fairly good beginning.'
