Thank you Kathleen for the title of the fictional account. I have been wanting to ask you Arachnids for the titles of novels and short stories that feature lacemakers *along with* your commentary on its accuracy. So for instance, The Royal Lacemaker is accurate. And, as Alex Stillwell remarked, a Louis L'Amour book had lace which was laughably wrong.
So: if you please, would you tell me the titles of novels with lacemaking that are accurate and/or some bloopers.
