PDF George Gordon, Lord byron buxton
A thorough account of Byron s life and works yet not overbearingly detailed just right I m not gonna lie I liked that about half the book was pictures But only because the artwork was so tasteful and relevant in histories and biographies all the various names can get shuffled up in one s head so it s always nice to have a face to go with a name Byron was a fascinating man somewhat different than I d pictured him and this was a great way to learn about him 128
