That Perfect Tranquility of Life

That perfect tranquility of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library.

Note: Aphra Behn (Books By This Author), the first professional woman playwright in Britain, whose novel 'Oroonoko,' played a crucial role in the development of English fiction, was buried in Westminster Abbey #OTD in 1689.

Aphra was one of the first women in England to earn a living through writing, inspiring future generations of women to write.
