Pemberley's Little Library

Second Life: Pemberley region

on path to Austen's café

 

Johann Sebastian Bach - Minuet In G Major

 

If you follow the well tended paths toward Austen's café, look to your right as you approach the cafe's courtyard to find a small house with a windowed door, containing a collection of books available for reading and listening. You have found Pemberley's Little Library.
