Getting that Apuleius translation yesterday has inspired me to gather together the Robert Graves bookshelf, which is in its present state rather more scattered throughout the Archive than some other author's stuff is. Fiction, short stories, biographies (including his own autobiography), translations, collaborations, and historical studies, including sometimes works of - anthropology? - literary criticism? - both potted and potty. Tolkien described Robert
Graves in 1964: “A remarkable creature, entertaining, likeable, odd, bonnet
full of wild bees, half-German, half-Irish, very tall, must have looked like
Siegfried/Sigurd in his youth, but an Ass.”
