Birthdays in literature are often stormy events!!! Probably the most memorable birthday is Miss Havisham's in Great Expectations. It was also going to be a wedding day, but the fiancé run off. Miss Havisham locked herself in the house, wearing the wedding dress, with the unhappy consequences we know.
Stanley lives the complete nightmare on his birthday in Harold Pinter's The Birthday Party. Esther Summerson's childhood birthdays are not even celebrated in Bleak House. Sara learns about the death of her dad and his bankruptcy as she is celebrating in A Little Princess, and--
That's enough, you will cry, and you will be right. Here is a birthday card I designed for a, thankfully, happy family birthday yesterday!
The card features The Lipstick Papers philosophy: always with beauty and a book! No better advice. Beauty of mind, body and soul leads to life's beauty.
Have a good night and be well! Xxx
