Found in the stacks

 

Yesterday at lunchtime I went to the college library (best job perk ever) in search of a particular book, but as I wandered through the stacks I was mysteriously lured into a long row of  20th century British literature (and books thereon).  And I found this!  A Bloomsbury Canvas, a book of works by and short essays on the artists of the Bloomsbury Group.  The book was assembled by Tony Bradshaw of the Bloomsbury Workshop, a bookstore and art gallery near the British Museum.  I've been there, on my one and only trip to London.

I don't know very much about the Bloomsbury artists' art, but I've always been drawn to it, and I'm looking forward to spending time with this book while it snows on Sunday (again).  On her lovely blog this morning, Joan asked where we would celebrate the promise of spring this weekend, and this will be where I do. :)
