Michael Huang's Reviews > The Grasmere Journals

Billed as “possibly the best beloved journals”, the Grasmere Journal is simple, rustic, and without any drama. Lot of “Drank tea at X’s; Y dined with us; it was so hot; William was sick, etc”. There is an occasional beggar or “leech collector” visiting. The biggest drama was the trip the author took with her brother William to marry Mary. At the end of the collection, there’s also the poems written by William. Those are also simple and rustic.
