bookworm artblock
a glimpse of Miranda the Curious Crow tracking down a new word in a handy dictionary...
It was inspired by our Powells (in Portland) find of the epic 2 volume Oxford English Dictionary. With print so tiny it requires a magnifying glass.
& also, because we both enjoy one another's fascination with etymology, we figured Miranda would be curious as well.
We'll look forward to hearing what stories she inspires for you...
