Thanks to a post on the ArtMagick forums for this tip. There's a new book out on the subject of Rossetti's pet wombat. I love the idea of a book that approaches the Brotherhood from such a quirky angle! Hopefully I can obtain this book somehow.
Your connection with the medieval and the Pre-Raphaelites is I feel through past lives and that is why they are some fundamental to who you are...we are all interconnected in more ways than we remember!
As an opera producer I would cast you Violetta in La travita or Mimi in La Boheme, although the red hair stereotype suggests the feisty Musetta.
Thank you for the Rosetti's Wombat reminder. I came across this story as a passionate Pre-Raphealite follower in my early 20s as a student in Birmingham,
I just finished a wonderful read entitled "Lizzie Siddal, Face of the Pre-Raphaelites," fascinating book, which mentions Rosetti's fascination with animals, especially wombats!
Next up is "May & Amy, A true story of family...and Sir Edward Burne-Jones." I'm sure that will be just as entertaining!

Hello to all. I am the publisher of Rossetti's Wombat and would just like you to know that it is easily purchased from www.mupress.co.uk and we despatch worldwide. I thoroughly recommend it - it's an excellent read and beautifully illustrated.

Thank you, Piutrar! I feel quite honored to be mentioned with such fine ladies :)
Wasn't Rossetti a quirky fellow? :)

Oh no, I must have this book!
Barbara, those books have definitely been on my "to-read" list :)
Meredith, if you get it, let me know what you think!!
Oh, the Lizzie book was wonderful! You'll be so glad you read it! I actually just ordered one on Fanny Cornforth as well! Review to follow!
I didn't realize it's only available on amazon UK. Hmmm, I will probably have to wait, but it sounds great.
Yep, sadly this probably means it'd be impossible to Inter-library loan here in the USA. I'll have to rely on foreign reviews I suppose.

Oh! I never knew you had this blog! :D
The drawing is by Max Beerbohm, no?
Hello Niroot! Yep, I do believe it is! And welcome to my little blog! :)
