Just a couple of stories today:
* Elizabeth Jenkins dies at 104 – Articles from the New York Times and from The Telegraph. Two of Ms. Jenkins’ books were some of the first I picked up when I started to collect them in earnest – “Elizabeth the Great” and “Elizabeth and Leicester”
* Sotheby’s to auction a Shakespeare First Folio and a collection of letters from Elizabeth I, Cecil and more (and not Tudor-related – but really cool – Audubon’s “Birds of America”)
I still have a weathered 40 year old copy of Elizabeth the Great from when Elizabeth R was airing on PBS. 104. Amazing long life
I was really astonished when I saw the name and that it was indeed the same Elizabeth Jenkins. I thought there was no way… until I saw her age. Quite impressive!
