Reading Experience:

Evidence:
Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 12 November 1842: 'Mr Kenyon called yesterday [...] and he left Lady Blessington's Annual [...] The annual is fuller of trash than usual I think, which is saying a good deal of ill. His own contribution indeed is a very excellent & poetical paraphrase of Schiller's "Gods of Greece" -- & there is a prose story by Mr Landor which has much beauty in his peculiar manner, -- & there is, moreover, a graceful fairy story by Miss Garrow, which I prefer to her last year's ballad, although retaining my opinion of the want of individuality & of power.'
