Elizabeth Gaskell's quaint fictional village pops up in unlikely places
My favorite Cranford reference is in An Old-Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott: "'How does the new book come on?' asked Polly, sucking her orange in public with a composure which would have scandalized the good ladies of 'Cranford.'" (Chapter 13)
Oh, that’s perfect! I’m going to add it to my post!
It's such a specific reference and brings me so much joy each time! 🍊
