    Il fatto è che una può scrivere un bel libro di 200 pagine, ma i suoi non appassionano proprio. Hanno di buono il prezzo, e penso che siano ottimi per uno che non è abituato a leggere biografie, ma in caso contrario...

    L'arpa di Mary:

    6EDpgp2
    CITAZIONE
    This harp was traditionally said to have been given by Mary, Queen of Scots to Beatrix Gardyne of Banchory, while on a hunting trip to Atholl, c 1563.

    However new research has revealed that this association is more likely to be because the harp’s forepillar originally had a gold coin with a portrait of Mary fixed to it. Beatrix Gardyne married John Robertson of Monzie sometime before 1564 and the coin may have been added then to a treasured family heirloom to emphasise the importance of this marriage.
