 of Daisy Ashford's
"The Young Visiters"

Tuesday, February 15, 2005
748 Betula Avenue, N. Avondale, Cincinnati

7:30 p.m. Tours of the impressive fifteen room Tudor -Revival house, built in 1915 for "Cantaloupe King" Stephen Gerrard, and now the home of Hope & Fred Felton-Miller.

8:00 p.m. "The Young Visiters": Written during Victoria's reign by a nine year old girl, this novel, with its innovative spelling and unique view of high society, went unpublished until 1919, when it came to the attention of James Barrie. Now, with the blessing of the Victorian Society and the BBC, Miss Ashford takes her rightful place on the literary shelf between Matthew Arnold and Jane Austen.

9:00p.m. A "Sumshious Repast"
As described by Miss Ashford for the wedding reception:

"a lovly wedding cake of great height with an angel at the top holding a sword"

"ham salid,"

"jelly merangs,"

"jam tarts with plenty of jam on each"

"punch with an ice ring full of vilets"
