The Quill is Mightier

My great-great-great-great-great grandfather was Quilliam Shakespeare. His pin name was The Barb of Avon.


Sender-inner Christine L. tells us this is Barnaby! “He is a reverse pinto and we got him from Hamor Hollow. He is the cutest thing I have ever seen so of course I take pictures of him all the time.”

    After a night of heavy drinking with Ernest Hamingway, Quilliam, light weight, Shakespeare tosses his cookies on his new type writer.
