I will be reading to you from The Blue Castle, by Lucy Maude Montgomery. This is the last episode – what’s next? I am still collating all your suggestions, but I think it will be Daddy Long Legs. A nature special on Arachnids? No, it’s a 1912 epistolary novel by Jean Webster that follows Jerusha “Judy” Abbott, a sharp-witted orphan whose college education is secretly funded by a mysterious trustee.
