Candy Pink
Adela TurinProf. Farah MendlesohnGreat thread. Mine was Rosie the Sugar Pink Elephant, a translated title. You can find it now as Candy Pink by Adela Turin, which isn't half as good. It's about a little elephant girl who *doesn't* turn pink when she eats rose petals, and why there are no pink elephants today. https://t.co/mAJqcsvRyJ

The Draytons and the Davenants: a story of the civil wars
Elizabeth Rundle CharlesProf. Farah Mendlesohn@WromanticHistry @tomaashby @RebeccaRideal I've responded above. The fictional intervention is Scott's Waverley, then Marryat's The Children of the New Forrest. After that they come thick and fast. The one that really made me sit up re archive access was The Draytons and the Davenants by Elizabeth Rundle Charles, 1880.
