Re: John Aubrey (m)
in reply to a message by Bear
You have heard of THE John Aubrey, of course? The one who wrote the Brief Lives? Do yourself a major favour, if not!
And, about 20 years ago I taught a boy whose school nn was Aubrey. Don't ask me why. He was skinny with huge dark-grey eyes and looked nocturnal. Can't recall his actual fn; could have been Anthony.
I've never seen Aubrey on a South African girl. Might you emigrate?

No. I haven't heard of John Aubrey or "Brief Lives." I'm off to look it up and check it out. Thanks!
ETA: Too cool. Historical biography is my favorite genre. And I'm really into baroque England and the Stuart court right now. This should be right up my alley. I can't think why I've never heard of him. Or perhaps I did and subliminally remembered it? I'll try to get a hold of a copy and put it on my long list of "to be read." Thanks so much. :-)
