Prologue: The World Forgetting, By The World Forgot

Notes:

This is the full first draft of the biography of Robbie Ross (1869-1918) which I have been working on over the past few months. I am posting it today because today (25th May) is Robbie's 155th birthday. I will be posting it bit by bit over the following weeks.

I will be revising it quite drastically over the next few months when I have a bit more time. It is therefore still an imperfect work in progress.

In line with my previous post, apologies in advance for any inaccuracies or inappropriate language -- I have tried my best when writing to avoid them but as with any first draft they are inevitable.

I am happy to answer any questions & provide references & recommend readings!

I will be vibe-matching songs with each chapter.

I know Oscar Wilde kind of hated Alexander Pope but I quite like some lines from his Eloisa to Abelard I am going to quote him anyway

We may forget those transient things

That made your charm and our delight:

But loyal love has deathless wings

That rise and triumph out of night.

—— Siegfried Sasson (1918), Elegy

Death, only death, can break the lasting chain;

And here, ev'n then, shall my cold dust remain;

Here all its frailties, all its flames resign,

And wait, till 'tis no sin to mix with thine.

—— Alexander Pope (1717), Eloisa to Abelard

On 3 June 1918, taking the witness stand in the Old Bailey which Oscar Wilde had saved him from 23 years ago, Alfred Douglas indignantly denounced his ex-lover as ‘the agent of the devil in every possible way’ and ‘the greatest force of evil that has appeared in Europe during the last 350 years’. No longer the champion of ‘the love that dares not speak its name’, this time, Douglas was testifying on behalf of Noel Pemberton Billing, a viciously homophobic proto-fascist politician on trial for libelling the actress Maud Allan known for playing Salomé. Billing alleged that a circle of 47,000 clandestine gay and lesbians tied to not only Maud Allan but also Robert Ross and the ‘Wilde cult’ had been infiltrating English high society to undermine the English war effort on behalf of the German Kaiser. The laws were not on Billing’s side: his entire legal argument hinged on the fact that Maud Allan understood what a ‘clitoris’ was (which, he argued, proved that she was a lesbian), and alleging that Oscar Wilde was aiding the Kaiser eighteen years after his death was legal delusion. But, crucially, the war-wearied, hate-filled, paranoia-driven English public hungry for a scapegoat was; and Alfred Douglas’s testimony gave them exactly what they wanted. In the end, in a farcical turn, the jury acquitted Noel Pemberton Billing and condemned Oscar Wilde.

Douglas would forswear his statement years later (as he had forsworn many other things in his life), but the harm done was not reparable. For Robert Ross, who had dedicated the past eighteen years to rehabilitating Oscar Wilde’s literary reputation, witnessing his effort turned to dust and Wilde's name sullied once more must have been an excruciatingly agonising blow. Days after the acquittal of Billing, Ross angrily snubbed Sir Charles Mathews, then the Director of Public Prosecutions, ‘the bastard of a mummer’, and sardonically congratulated him on ‘the complete rehabilitation of [his] protégé, Lord Alfred Douglas’ and snubbed him ‘the bastard of a mummer’. Meanwhile, to his friends Cecil Sprigge and Charles Ricketts, Ross expressed his despair over the war-weary English public’s eagerness in ‘kicking Oscar’s corpse’ and lamented that he himself had been ‘used as a piece of mud’ in smearing Oscar Wilde. Four months later, Ross died of heart failure, aged only 49.

Unlike Douglas, who wrote endless autobiographies regurgitating his narrative, Ross never publicly told his side of the story and left scant traces of himself. Therefore, unfortunately, we would never know whether his official cause of death, recorded as ’gastritis caused by chronic bronchitis’ belied a broken heart. Did the fresh wave of anti-Wilde furore made him believe that his advocacy for the past eighteen years had all been in vain? Did he fear that Wilde’s legacy would be irrevocably tarnished by Douglas’ ongoing vendetta against himself? Did he die tormented by regrets and despair? These we could only speculate. We only know that for a long time before his death, Ross had suffered from severe depression and chronic insomnia which ruined his health and prematurely aged his appearance. This was due in no small part to Alfred Douglas’s relentless persecution of him due to his homosexuality. It would also be reasonable to postulate that the uncharacteristic sarcasm of his letter to Sir Charles Mathews was the tip which belied an iceberg of agony.

Ross left almost everything in his possession to others upon his death. The Oscar Wilde estate was transferred to Cyril (then deceased) and Vyvyan Holland in its entirety. Most paintings in his possession were presented to the British Museum. His personal savings were largely left to More Adey, one of his ex-partners with whom he spent nearly 15 years. To himself, he had reserved only a quiet little enclave in Wilde’s famous Père Lachaise tombstone: unbeknownst to everyone, he had requested a small secret space for his own ashes when commissioning that majestic tombstone. In his will, Ross directed that:

[…] my remains shall be cremated at Golders Green Crematorium with the ordinary burial offices of the Catholic and Roman Church. And I direct that my ashes shall be placed in a suitable urn and taken to Paris and buried in the tomb of the said Oscar Fingal O' Flahertie Wills Wilde.

Moreover, since the will was penned during his persecution by Alfred Douglas, Ross foresaw difficulties with placing his ashes in Wilde’s tomb. In response, he directed that were burial to prove impossible, his ashes be scattered in Père Lachaise around Oscar Wilde.

It was as if Ross was being the Heloise to Wilde’s Abelard. In that famous Medieval love story, much like how the illustrious writer Oscar Wilde was captivated by the 17-year-old Robbie Ross, Abelard, the brightest philosopher of his day, fell for his astute pupil Heloise, 19 years his junior. They were not only intellectual partners but also passionate lovers, yet loving Heloise was the beginning of calamity for Abelard. But Heloise’s love was unwavering even after Abelard’s ruin, not unlike how Ross steadfastly stood by Wilde after his imprisonment till the very end. In the end, much like how Heloise demanded to be buried with Abelard 22 years after his death, 23 years after Wilde’s death, Ross yearned for eternity alongside Wilde, beneath the same hallowed earth that cradled Heloise and Abelard.

Yet, unlike Heloise, whose effigy lay proudly beside Abelard's in Père Lachaise and whose name was engraved alongside his in history, Ross deliberately left no mark of his own on the final resting place he shares with Wilde. So whilst Heloise receives countless visitors’ songs and tears alongside Abelard, out of the hundreds of kisses imprinted on Wilde’s grave, none was intended for Ross; and most who wander through Père Lachaise remain unaware that Ross's ashes are silently guarding Wilde’s body.

Such self effacement was despite the fact that Ross had given up his eternal life with God for eternal rest with Oscar Wilde. As a devout lifelong Catholic, in directing his body’s cremation, Ross had denied himself resurrection —— it was not until 1963 that the Vatican finally conceded that cremation was ‘not opposed to the Christian religion' and ceased to deny Catholics wishing to be cremated their sacraments and funeral rites. Although at the time of Ross’s death, the Catholic Church sometimes acquiesced to cremation in practice as a result of WW1 (as reflected by the ‘the ordinary burial offices of the Catholic and Roman Church’ at Golders Green Crematorium), it was still quite possible that Ross never received the funeral rites which prepare a Catholic’s soul for afterlife.

What had prompted such grave sacrifice? Perhaps he wanted to take up as little space as possible, lest his presence eclipse the master’s lustre. Perhaps it was his ultimate penance for his incurable sin of loving Oscar Wilde. Or perhaps he saw incineration as the only way to purify his body and to make himself worthy of eternal rest by the artist he had corrupted, just as Alexander Pope had written of Heloise:

Death, only death, can break the lasting chain;

And here, ev'n then, shall my cold dust remain,

Here all its frailties, all its flames resign,

And wait till 'tis no sin to mix with thine.

Yet, were it not for Robert Ross, us contemporaries might not have known Oscar Wilde at all. Despite Nicholas Frankel’s brilliant effort to re-write Wilde’s final years as a joyous saga of love and self-acceptance, there is no denying that Wilde died a ruined bankrupt in 1900. Upon his death, he was a persona non grata in England whose name was synonym to scandal, and due to his bankruptcy, everything he had owned was automatically passed into the hands of the Official Receiver in Bankruptcy. This meant that none of the proceedings from Wilde’s works (if there were any at all) would go to his orphaned children. Furthermore, though Salomé was successful on the German stage and The Soul of Man under Socialism welcomed by the bookshelves of Nizhny Novgorod, Wilde’s works were deemed worthless in England: the complete rights to Lady Windermere’s Fan and The Importance of Being Earnest were sold off for the meagre sum of £100 each. Indeed, the Official Receiver had told Ross in 1901 that Wilde’s works ‘would never command any interest whatever’. But Ross’s labour of love worked miracles. In eight years, Ross had accomplished what none had thought possible: he had repaid all of Wilde’s debts, restored Wilde’s children’s rights over their father’s literary estate, and restored Oscar Wilde’s literary name. Moreover, Ross might have taken some comfort in the fact that he had reinstated Oscar Wilde so solidly in literary history that even the setbacks of the Billing trial did not hinder the reading public's rediscovery of Wilde’s genius in the long term. In particular, the remarkable 14-volume Collected Works of Oscar Wilde Ross had almost single-handedly compiled remains one of the most exhaustive collections of Wilde’s writings. To this monumental endeavour we owe much of our current understanding and appreciation of Wilde and his works. Few in history had done so much yet said so little.

II.

In the years since Ross’s untimely death, two drastically different images of him emerged.

To his friends and acquaintances, Ross was a erudite wit with a big heart, selflessly devoted to Oscar Wilde and his legacy but also endlessly keen on supporting other artists. Edmund Gosse described him as a ‘talker’ with rapid thoughts and astonishing breadth of knowledge and an ‘expert […] in the art of benevolence’ who ‘wore himself out in deeds of active kindness’. Siegfried Sassoon corroborated Gosse’s assessment in his Elegy, and added to it endearing snippets of personal stories, such as when Ross put up an umbrella to reassure an old lady bewildered by air-raid during the Great War. Arthur Humphreys remembered him as someone who ‘never talked of anything without touching the salient point at once and bringing his fancy and brilliancy to bear upon all’, who knew more but showed less of their knowledge than most men, who was always eager and capable of giving help to those in need, and who never ‘became embittered’ or ‘say an unkind word of anyone through the trials and tribulations of his life. William Rothenstein praised Ross's ‘genius for friendship’ and his ability to inspire the best in those he admired. Vyvyan Holland cherished Ross as his ‘dearest friend’ whom he could look to when he wanted ‘sincerity and advice’. And The Times wrote in Ross’s obituary that ‘It was his foible to pretend to be a trifler in all things and to gibe at the greatest reputation; but he knew more and did more than many solemn people and, in acts of kindness, he was always in earnest’.

However, to Alfred Douglas (who outlived Ross by almost three decades) and his sympathisers, Ross was a conniving, almost-psychopathic social climber mad with unrequited love for Oscar Wilde and jealousy for Douglas. In his Autobiography, Douglas described Ross as a ‘sinister looking, bloated and bald-headed person’ with ‘snaky eyes’, ‘bulging face and body’ and ’n—er-like mouth and teeth’. In addition, Douglas described Ross as a jealous, embittered man with a ‘subconscious determination’ to ‘get even with’ himself, and a hypocrite who socialised beyond his station by contrived ‘flattery “laid on with a trowel”’. Somewhat corroborating this, Samuel Roth claimed that Frank Harris had once described Ross as a ‘rascal of the first water’ drunk on the illusion of being Wilde’s only lover. Following closely upon Douglas’s narrative, Rupert Croft-Cooke (who was a friend of Douglas’s) wrote in 1963 that Ross was an ‘amusing little queen’ who ‘ingratiated' himself with Wilde with 'feminine willingness’, who ‘had no other serious interest’ beside Wilde, who took Wilde as his life with ‘exhibitionist devotion’, who was tormented by ‘the green fires of jealousy’ after Wilde met Douglas, and who ‘had nothing else to warm his nature but a little rancid promiscuity and a dilettante interest in art and letters’. Caspar Wintermans likewise maintained that Ross was a jealous hypocrite who saw Douglas as ‘an impediment’, who schemed, lied, and manipulated to tear Wilde from Douglas, and who maliciously used Arthur Ransom as a ‘tool’ to ‘get even' with ‘the Adonis [Douglas] who twenty years ago had appropriated Oscar Wilde, relegating him, Bobbie, to limbo.’ In a similar vein, Douglas Murray portrayed Ross as a despondent abandoned lover whose effort in rehabilitating Wilde stemmed from a twisted desire to ‘claim back Wilde for himself’ as a ‘revenge for the back-seat role that the advent of Douglas had forced him into with Wilde’.

Ironically, were it not for Douglas, I would not have embarked on my journey to rediscover Robert Ross. I had knowledge of him as one of Oscar Wilde’s many lovers and literary executor after watching Wilde (1999) and The Happy Prince (2018), and was briefly intrigued by the bickering amongst Wilde’s lovers. However, it was the feud between Douglas and Ross over the publication of De Profundis which really led me down the rabbit hole.

De Profundis is my favorite work of English prose, not only for its exquisite elegance but also for its delicate balance between truth and deception, and between artistic form and poetic spirit. Because it was composed in prison, Wilde’s genius in weaving beautiful lies ‘lying’ was marred by and married to raw, almost religious agony, producing a unique literary masterpiece which stands out from his other works. On a more personal level, the book had been the healing balm to my soul amidst some of my darkest personal moments, and it has been a source of strength and comfort since. So, quite naturally, I searched for anything and everything related to its composition and publication, which eventually led me to Robert Ross, the man who quite literally made De Profundis.

But before I got to Ross, I first encountered Alfred Douglas’ various autobiographies and biographies which levied extensive allegations against Ross’s character and conduct re the publications of De Profundis. Douglas and his biographers accused Ross of stealing personal letters, acting contrary to Wilde’s wishes, manipulating writers, and luring Douglas into a libel action, all for the sake of destroying Douglas and avenging the loss of his lifelong love (amongst other things). I shall analyse the merits of such allegations at another time —— here it is suffice to say that I was fascinated by the colourful character of Ross their narratives constructed, as I had always been drawn to tragic villains in romantic sagas. So I began my search for Robert Ross, hoping to discover a complex, twisted, and fascinating Jekyll-and-Hyde type character, whose too-profound love and hate had led him to stoop low and weave elaborate webs of lies in the dark to bring down the innocent protagonist in a one-sided romantic vendetta.

However, what I found was exactly the opposite.

The more times I read over Douglas and his biographers’ narratives, the more contradictions, inaccuracies, dubious interpretations, and arbitrarily imputed intentions I noticed, and the less convinced I became of their portrayal of Ross. Things simply did not add up for me. I shall elaborate on the reasons I found faults with Douglas’s narratives some other time; in short, I discovered that most of Douglas’s allegations were either unsubstantiated, untrue, or maliciously misconstrued.

Moreover, as I read into the life of Robert Ross, I realised that he was, or rather deserved to be, so much more than simply a footnote in Oscar Wilde’s story. I found that in his rather brief life, Ross had inspired, supported, and made many great names in literary and queer history. Indeed, as argued, without Ross, us contemporaries might never have had the pleasure of reading Oscar Wilde. I also came to believe Ross deserved to be remembered as a hero (if not a martyr) in British queer history alongside Wilde in his own right, for his remarkable, lifelong courage to live as a somewhat openly gay man and shelter other young queer men from a society which condemned homosexual intercourse to life imprisonment. So increasingly I wanted to extrapolate Ross from the quarrels amongst Oscar Wilde's lovers (which, I believe, are somewhat blown out of proportion by the two brilliant Wilde biography films I had mentioned above) —— I believe Ross deserved to be remembered as so much more than an embittered ex-favourite in an all-male harem, or the male version of a forbearing traditional wife whose sole purpose in life was her man.

III.

But I could not help but to notice that, despite all his achievements, throughout his life Ross had consistently erased himself from the narrative. Even at the 1908 dinner which celebrated Ross for his remarkable success in rehabilitating Wilde’s literary legacy, Ross claimed that he regarded himself as no more than an instrument, that it was chiefly to others’ credit that Wilde’s debts were repaid, that he was not the only friend by Wilde’s side over the latter’s last years, and other friends have done more for Wilde than himself.

Moreover, like T.H.Crosland (out of all people), I wondered why didn’t Ross defend himself when faced with vicious persecution Was it fear —— fear that had he defended himself he would have incurred more severe persecution and be imprisoned for his sexuality like Oscar Wilde? Was it love —— could he have worried that if he had defended himself as vigorously and relentlessly as Douglas did, the squabbles between them could eclipse Wilde’s literary legacies which he had poured his heart and soul into? Or was it simply a lack of time —— might he have told his story had he simply lived a little longer?

On top of which, I wondered whether Ross would have preferred to be relegated to a small footnote in Oscar Wilde’s story, just as he wanted his ashes to be quietly laid in a secret little enclave in Wilde’s grand tomb in Père Lachaise without his name being engraved anywhere. As Edra Bogle postulated in her 1969 PhD thesis, Ross might have wished to be forgotten himself and have any fame to go to ‘those whose work he hoped to advance’.

Thus, I deliberated long and hard before penning this piece, wondering whether I might be disrespecting a dead man’s wishes in trying to tell his story. But eventually I decided to write, for three reasons. Firstly, with the decriminalisation and increasing normalisation of homosexuality in Britain, the factors which had caused Ross to fear publicity in his time are no more. Secondly, thanks in no small part to Ross’s effort, Oscar Wilde’s position in literary history is so well-established today that no stories of his personal life could have eclipsed his literary legacy. Indeed, volumes had been written on the private lives of Wilde, Douglas, and Ross (albeit with varying levels of accuracies), but none has diminished people’s appreciation of Wilde’s literary genius. If anything, the biographies and films served to augment the reading public’s interest in Oscar Wilde by fleshing out the literary personality. Thirdly, personally, I suppose if Ross had known that ten years after persecuting him into his early grave, Alfred Douglas would continue to not only drag his name through the mud but also refuse to assume any substantial responsibility for Wilde’s downfall, he might have wished to write something.

So, this piece is for Robert Baldwin Ross. It is a labour of love by an amateur Wildean upon the occasion of Queer History Month. I hope to pay tribute to the man who not only introduced us to Oscar Wilde, Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, and so many other queer luminaries, but also was a beacon in queer history in his own right. This was a man tormented by his faith and suffered endless prejudices from a cruel society, yet he braved the troubles of his life with heroic resolve. He came out to his family at the tender age of nineteen, never married to conceal his sexuality, and nurtured a generation of queer artists. I hope I could honour his beautiful soul by doing justice to his extraordinary story, a story of courage, of struggle, of sacrifice, and above all, of love.

Three internet fraudsters jailed in Akwa Ibom

A Federal High Court sitting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State has convicted and sentenced three internet fraudsters to different jail terms for offences bordering on criminal impersonation, internet fraud and possession of fraudulent documents. This was contained in a statement by the Spokesperson of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Dele Oyewale, on Monday. The statement noted that the convicts, Abraham Itoro Sunday, Ezea Chidera Charles and Udoh Christopher Gabriel were convicted by Justice Chigozie Sergius Onah upon their arraignment by the Uyo Zonal Command of EFCC, on one-count separate charge bordering on cybercrimes. The charge sheet against the suspect’s rea, “That you Abraham Itoro Sunday ‘ M’ sometime in 2023 within the jurisdiction of this honourable court did fraudulently impersonate Brian O’ Noel on Facebook with the intent to gain advantage for yourself and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 22 (2)(b)(I) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, prevention) Act 2015 and punishable under the same section”. The charge read. The suspects pleaded guilty to all the charges. Based on their pleas, Prosecution counsels, Enobong Ubokudom and Farida Bukar prayed the court to convict and sentence them accordingly. Delivering judgment on Thursday, Justice Onah convicted and sentenced Sunday and Charles to six months imprisonment each with an option of a fine of N200,000.00 (Two Hundred Thousand Naira only), while Gabriel bagged five months jail term with an option of a fine of N150,000.00(One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira only). The court also ordered that the three smartphones used by the convicts to perpetrate the crimes be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria. The statement noted that “the convicts started their journey to the Correctional Centre when they were arrested by operatives of the Uyo Zonal Command of the EFCC on November 22, 2023, at different locations in Afaha Atai, in Iko Eket Akwa Ibom State. “Investigation showed that all the convicts impersonated foreigners by using their identities to defraud their victims. While Charles fraudulently portrayed himself as ‘Molina Urovsky’ on Facebook, Sunday portrayed himself as Brian O’niel and Gabriel presented himself as Alexander Douglas on Instagram.” Read the full article

Happy British Tea Day (April 21st)! Steep in this interesting bit of tea history and these tea titles from your James Smith Noel Collection!

It is difficult to believe that the United Kingdom have not always been the hosts of tea though it is now deeply woven into English culture and society. It was not until exploration and trade opened to the Far East (Asia) when the later Elizabethans began to hear tales of brewed cups of chai leaves in Japan and China through the East India Company in 1598. There is an urban legend of when tea first arrived in England. Lady Mary Douglas of London was given a dried bouquet by her lover , a member of the trading company , who had returned from China with the bouquet. Lady Mary dunked the collection of faded blossoms into a vase of water. Then during the night she awoke thirsty and drank the vase water. It is said that the bouquet’s blossoms were from a tea plant, however, there is no date that correlates with the urban legend.

The East India Company began to introduce tea to England and other parts of Europe in the mid-1600s. Tea was first offered for commercial sale to the public in 1657 at a coffee house in Exchange Alley in London. The first coffee house, introduced by the Greeks to the English around 1650, was opened in Oxford. Tea and coffee are common drinks for the English though the type of coffee being popularized among the English was the Turkish style of coffee, and also (hot) chocolate was being offered and popularized. It was in 1666 when the East India Company gifted 23 pounds of a “rare” type of tea to the king and also to the Russian tsar.

The use of “cupp of tee (tea)” was first noted by a clerk of British navy, Samuel Pepys on September 25, 1660, when he met with his colleagues. And his wife had her first cup of tea seven years later according to his personal writings on June 29th. And so the rise of tea drinking society began and the enjoyment of coffee began to fade out thanks to Charles II marriage to the Portuguese Princess Catherine in 1662. While tea-drinking was already a custom of the Portuguese royals and nobility, Princess Catherine’s dowry included rare teas such as Tangier and Bombay for court use. Tea began to become a regular import for commercial use in 1669 with the East India Company.

Americans are not unfamiliar with the history of unfair taxing of common goods. Let us remember the Boston Tea Party when crates of tea were tossed into the Boston Harbor as a reaction to taxes from the crown! Britain also taxed tea and chocolate in 1660 and the taxes on tea gradually increased until the 1720s when the import tax was lifted since tea was a common drink of the higher social class, until the 1730s.

It was until the 1730s that tea was a popular drink held at court and coffee houses in England. However, the common family was beginning to enjoy a cup of tea at their daily table. This tea was normally black tea which did not have any additional tax unlike the herbal counterpart of green tea. Another interesting closing fact is that tea joined the smuggling trade along with tobacco, silk, and brandy.

For the book stacks, any of these you like: Books Rachel would Read, Books Rietta would Read, and/or Books Elystan would Read.

Ooh, what a fun idea! I’m pretty sure all my OCs would read all kinds of things that I wouldn’t, but let’s suppose they’ve been let loose in my house to choose twenty books from my shelves. Here’s what they might go for.

Rachel

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

An Old-Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum

The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum

Ozma of Oz by L. Frank Baum

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Bleak House by Charles Dickens

The Shadow of the Bear by Regina Doman

Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell

The Castle Behind Thorns by Merrie Haskell

The Dragonfly Pool by Eva Ibbotson

The Door in the Hedge by Robin McKinley

The Enchanted Castle by E. Nesbit

Tom’s Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce

Withering-By-Sea by Judith Rossell

Apple Bough by Noel Streatfeild

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente

Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White

Mother Carey’s Chickens by Kate Wiggin Douglas

Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Most of Rachel’s selections are classics, with an emphasis on family or friendship stories, which she would relate to. But there’s also a lot of children’s fantasy: Oz (the real-world equivalent of the Yew stories she loves in-universe) and others in a similar vein. Some books were chosen because they’re vaguely reminiscent of her encounters with Rietta: The Enchanted Castle, Tom’s Midnight Garden, The Dragonfly Pool, etc. Jane Eyre and The Shadow of the Bear are present because they have heroines I think she’d appreciate.

Rietta

Knife by R. J. Anderson

Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins

Entwined by Heather Dixon Wallwork

The Princess Bride by William Goldman

Frederica by Georgette Heyer

The Ordinary Princess by M. M. Kaye

Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren

The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald

Woodwalker by Emily B. Martin

Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery

The Blue Castle by L. M. Montgomery

Flambards by K. M. Peyton

Skating Shoes by Noel Streatfeild

The Innocents Abroad by Mark Twain

Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne

Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster

When Patty Went to College by Jean Webster

For Rietta, I choose books about heroines I think she would appreciate (outgoing and enthusiastic girls/women who boldly take on the world and often escape or defy stifling circumstances), stories with an emphasis on adventure and/or romance (Woodwalker is exactly the sort of fantasy she would like; The Hunger Games would have her on the edge of her seat), travel tales, and family stories that she would devour enviously (her choices of fictional families are a bit more lively/chaotic than Rachel’s selections).

Elystan

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

The Adolescent by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories Volume I by Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories Volume II by Arthur Conan Doyle

The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope

Raffles by E. W. Hornung

Archer’s Goon by Diana Wynne Jones

The Lives of Christopher Chant by Diana Wynne Jones

Eight Days of Luke by Diana Wynne Jones

The Story of the Treasure Seekers by E. Nesbit

The Magic World by E. Nesbit

The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen

The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy

Tenthragon by Constance Savery

The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict by Trenton Lee Stewart

The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner

The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner

The Gold Bat and Other Stories by P. G. Wodehouse

Mike and Psmith by P. G. Wodehouse

Assuming I could convince Elystan to restrict himself to just twenty books! He’s got an apparent preference for crime and royal intrigue, both if possible. Lots of trickster characters. I think he’d very much appreciate Diana Wynne Jones. He’s a big Sherlock Holmes fan (or rather, his world’s version of the character) but also reads Raffles with the same excitement, seeing no moral inconsistency. Six of Crows is not age-appropriate for him, but why would that stop him he’d be all over that plot. Wodehouse’s school stories would amuse him, and I think he’d appreciate the young Nicholas Benedict. And Oswald Bastable’s narration style. The Adolescent is there because copies of Flight of Fantasy (the book he reads in “A Visit from the Murderess”) are impossible to come by, and Tenthragon is something he really ought to read, particularly later in his timeline.
