Letter From Our Editors

“I see the winter approaching without much concern, though a passionate lover of fine weather, and the pleasant scenes of summer, but the long evenings have their comforts too, and there is hardly to be found upon earth, I suppose, so snug a creature as an Englishman by the fireside in the winter.”
--William Cowper, as quoted in Adam Gopnik’s Winter (see page 29 of this catalog)

We couldn’t agree more! (Though we would substitute “bluestocking” for “Englishman” and throw in a book, of course.) We hope this winter 2012 edition of Bas Bleu offers lots to keep you cozily entertained throughout the frosty months.

Happy Reading,
Ann & Christie
