Another excursion by Colonel Proger

[elingregory]

Our museum ghost is back, damn his incorporeal eyes. I had a bit of a 'thing' when I locked up last night - I'm not psychic, I'm NOT, I just have an overactive imagination. sudden chills and odd noises and the intense feeling of someone following me up the cellar steps are par for the course when locking up a building with nine hundred and some odd years of mayhem bleeding out of the stones.

Except ... I had an alarm triggered early this morning when a door - that I swear was shut last night - opened. So maybe Colonel Proger, a 17th century gentleman who made his prescence felt in the 1990s, is back or we have a new kid on the block.

*sigh* I don't like having to get up at silly o'clock and yomp around the museum in the dark.

I'm going to cheer myself up with silliness. Click the picture for a feast for the eyes - totally inappropriate bookcovers that have actually been used:

I don't suppose you can persuade Wilf to accompany you a fearless guard dog can you?

Those book covers are priceless! I think Cranford is my favourite :) Just to prove bewildering book covers are nothing new, a work colleague recently discovered this (http://www.bridgemanart.com/asset/239281/Hugo-Valentine-nee-Gross-1890-1968/Illustration-for-'Wuthering-Heights'-by-Emily-Bron?search_context={%22url%22:%22\/search%3Ffilter_text%3Dbronte%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%22,%22filter%22:{%22filter_text%22:%22bronte%22,%22filter_searchoption_id%22:%222%22,%22filter_assetstatus_id%22:1,%22filter_prev_text%22:%22bronte%22},%22num_results%22:%22109%22,%22sort_order%22:%22best_relevance%22,%22search_type%22:%22search_assets%22,%22item_index%22:31}) utterly fabulous 1946 illustration for Wuthering Heights Friendship Is Magic XD
