That Rossetti beginning to show his true colours now...the gorgeous rascal!. Finished Franny Moyle's book last night so interested to see how much Peter Bowker includes of their later years. One of the best things on the website is Peter's explanations of how he chose to amend/edit/alter the book and reasons for doing so. If anyone constructing the website is actually reading the comments can we have more backstage scenes please.
