The interrior was dark and dusty,
a second-hand treasury for searchers.
Deeply breathing the particulate air,
I squeezed through to my secret back room.

Care of J.M. Dent and Everyman,
there for sixpence, at pocket money price,
an unexplored world could be had.
Dickens, Dumas and Stevenson.
'Everyman' q6th. century morality play. J.M. Dent & Everyman published many of the classics at low prices in the early 20th. century, serving a large population of culture hungry Brits.
