What a truly marvellous resource the cave is.
I will never tire of enjoying its amazing contents.

A special thank you to Tony for making this wonderful place available to all completely free of charge.

Surely we are blessed with the best illustrations, reviews and content of any comparable website!

Anyway, way back (even before young Nigel's time) to today's Gem -

That's a very striking cover. No idea about the poem sadly.
"What a lot of trouble one avoids if one refuses to have anything to do with the common herd. To have no job, to devote ones life to literature, is the most wonderful thing in the world. - Cicero
