Amusing Tale of a Bookworm and His Dowry Book
A British newspaper recounts how a shy old bachelor, a bookish recluse, married his librarian caretaker after she bought rare volumes for herself. He overpaid for a Montaigne volume, then offered a fortune to preserve the book and win her, finally proposing when she accepted. The tale folds into a meditation on nature, science, and curiosity.
