Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Mab, Vol. 1 of 3 Queen Square, Bloomsbury, is a quiet place. Securely it sleeps within the shelter of the neighbouring Law and the shadow of a few old trees. It hears, indeed, the subdued roar of Holborn, and the distant hum of the city; but it hears them as in a dream, and, heeding neither, it slumbers and dozes on. Its lot is cast in peace and silence; rude carriages disturb it not, for it has but a few inconvenient outlets, and intruding feet seldom profane the grass that grows freely between its ancient flags. It has seen better days, that a glance will tell, but the ghost of departed greatness protects it from the last humiliation of decay: it is not populous. It has ceased to be fashionable, but, thank heaven, it is still "genteel." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
