Well, Pride and Prejudice is obviously the other one among the two most famous :-) As for the others, they are of course all very popular; but actual polls among British readers at least (I could try to digg up the links if you are *really* interested) consistently show these two at the top. For another measure, just check the sheer number of screen adaptations -- you won't find anything close to Jane Eyre I'd wager :-) (Pride and Prejudice has somewhat fewer, but more successful ones; so all in all they come out about even I'd say...) -antrik- _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
