The Raven and the Writing Desk
The Raven and the Writing Desk | Francis Huxley
2 posts | 3 to read
As all the readers of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland will know, when Alice sat down (uninvited) at the mad tea party, the Hatter opened his eyes very wide and asked, "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" The riddle is famous because when Alice in turn asked, "What's the answer?" the Hatter replied that he hadn't the faintest idea. It has provoked ingenious possible answers from many great minds, but in this utterly engaging "Enquiry," Francis Huxley has undertaken the first investigation in depth. - Jacket flap.

I‘m “raven” about this writing desk! Though the intention is ultimately to use it as a vanity. My actual new desk for school is being delivered this week. Still, it‘s too lovely not to share!

A break from my #LitsyPartyOfOne involved a visit to my neighbor's "barn sale"... and I'm now the proud owner of a school desk!

Jess_Read_This @Leftcoastzen Thank you! I think it's going to be the new spot for my active reading pile.. but that always evolves into a separate TBR pile.. 🙈 8y
Sarah83 Sounds like a great idea. 😎 8y
