Just the facts ...

... A Sleuth Goes to the Library. (Hat tip, Paul Davis.)


... we learn that Milton's three daughters did not, as legend has it, serve as adoring amanuenses to the blind poet when he was writing "Paradise Lost" but instead were illiterates whose rebellious behavior so infuriated their father that he left them nothing in his will.

Maybe he should have sent them to school.
