happy new year 2020! from 1901

happy 2020 to all readers of the lord William Nevill blog. this was an important time of the year for lord Nevill and one he celebrated, not only as it coincided with his release from prison but he chose to release his book on this date in 1903. the anonymously written "penal servitude" was the first time I came across lord Nevill. it was September 2003 and I was looking for a present for my father when I came across this tome in the Oxfam book shop in Worcester. there was a newspaper cutting from an Edwardian paper so I brought it. I'm so glad I did as it changed my world!
