belfast | Swallowed a fly (10) | Swallowed a fly | 29 Jun 03 |
Ian McEwan's great novel "Atonement" is set in England in the 30's, sometime prior to WW2. A young girl in the novel quotes the line, "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly". Am I right in thinking this is a bit anachronistic? And, if it is, am I being incredibly petty for noticing it? |
