About This Quote
'It is very nice how many books there are, indeed. And on so many subjects!' was a response to Temeraire's question about the books in the library at his home in the Dovecote, where he resided when the main action of the book takes place. The library at Dovecote was extensive. The books are described in much detail to demonstrate how well read Mrs. Granby is, and what she has read to this extent.
