| Evidence: | "As ... [Hannah Mitchell's] love of books became known locally: 'I made free of such libraries as the neighbours possessed, which led to my reading some curious and unsuitable matter, old-fashioned theological works, early Methodist magazines, cookery books and queer tales of murder and robbery. One such, entitled 'The Castle of Otranto', haunted my dreams for many a night'." |
