Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on this day, 1756. Here is a simple map I (frantically) made of his life’s travels. My maps usually summarise the journeys of eighteenth-century musicians. This time I went for completeness, so it’s a bit packed!

A lovely obituary in the the New York Times.
Natalie Zemon Davis, Historian of the Marginalized, Dies at 94
She wrote of peasants, unsung women, border crossers and, most popularly, Martin Guerre, a 16th-century village impostor recalled in a 1980s movie.

I read this wonderful book about sheep detectives in the original German (sorry for the angeben-ing)
If you do enter a sheep phase: There is a strange, lovely little book called Three Bags Full about a flock of sheep who try to solve their shepherd’s murder. I apologize for the unsolicited recommendation; it’s just a book I have to recommend whenever anyone mentions sheep.
