Like any good book worm and literature fanatic, I'm quite pleased to see this new RIG and to finally see Gaia bring a bit more literate fun onto the site. With that in mind, I thought I'd make a list of what references the items give to literature.

Another one!

Gray Governess: Jane Eyre

Edit: and I think Sir Percy is a reference to The Scarlet Pimpernel.
And I suppose Bookish Insect could be referencing The Very Hungry Caterpillar. ^^
