What a cool question! Gloucester’s “I shall not need spectacles” in King Lear isn’t firm evidence but does potentially suggest prop glasses to read the letter Edmund gives him?

Actual libraries also have immense ethical value for making books / media / resources available for free while compensating the creators. We don't need a new system that cuts them out to give tech companies more profits.

Maybe a bit young but Philippa Pearce’s A Dog So Small for the way animals are an acceptable outlet for otherwise taboo care/softness/emotion generally in post-war boyhood.

Brilliant news! Your work is so important - congratulations Tracey!!

Amazing - what excellent news!
