Today we visited the British Library. The British hate the exterior of the library, they consider it a blemish on the face of London. Although I think it looks fine, it does not compare to the train station next to it, yes the building that looks like a crazy cathedral. We did not go too far into the library but we did explore their collection of original manuscripts.
On display are: Alice in Wonderland notes, Shakespeare drafts, Virginia Woolf drafts, Beatles handwritten copies of song lyrics, Buddhist scrolls and manuscripts, Sacred Judaism and Hinduism texts, the original hand painted copy of "The Birds of America" by Audubond, and the Magna Carta alongside the articles of the Barons.
PS: I got a wardrobe today!!!
