My granny is moving house, her name is Dolores. My mum and I went down to her house to help her put different things into boxes. While I was going through a box full of old books I came across a very interesting book. To my excitement it was a very old Classics book. I had so many questions about this book. How old was it? Where was it from?

So I brought it into school to show my Classics teacher. She was flabbergasted and so was I when we both found out that this book was around 140 years old - it was published in 1842. I was very pleased with this amazing find.
