Re: cute reference request
Hello!
This request really made me smile. Its quite similar to the sort of thing I
receive all the time as the web master of several historical interest sites I
run as a hobby. Usually the child is about 10 and the request is for something
like, "Tell me the causes and effects of the Reformation. I have a report due
tomorrow."
Lifetimes of scholarship have been built on less than that! ;-}
