I don’t know if it’s the same with the book, but at the end of each episode there’s a short explanation of a Victorian costume, for instance, why maid throws tea on the floor before sweeping it or a brief history of the Crystal Palace.<br /><br />Funny that you mention the slow pace of the book because I got exactly the same feeling with the animation.Alexhttp://thesleeplessreader.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-5941789111507701682010-06-04T17:05:50.029+10:002010-06-04T17:05:50.029+10:00Thank you for reminding me about those additional ...Thank you for reminding me about those additional three volumes!
