"Her first book—the first present she remembered receiving from her father—was The Linnet's Life, which she kept until her death. 'It made me very happy when I held it in my little hands', she told Cross, 'and read it over and over again; and thought the pictures beautiful, especially the one where the linnet is feeding her young.'” Gordon S. Haight, George Eliot: A Biography. Oxford University Press 1968. p. 7
