| Evidence: | Arthur Tennyson on his brother Alfred's childhood reading:
'He was always a great reader; and if he went alone he would take his book with him on his walk. One day in the winter, the snow being deep, he did not hear the Louth mail coming up behind. Suddenly "Ho! ho!" from the coachman roused him. He looked up and found a horse's nose and eyes over his shoulder, as if reading his book.' |
