Which books does Brianna bring back in Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone?

We knew Brianna had a bag full of tricks when she came back to the past. Which books were in her bag in Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone?

There was one question for everyone when it came to Brianna heading back to the past. What was going to be in her bag? We knew that there had to be a lot of items from the past, but would they be helpful for the Revolutionary War or just fun items for everyone to look at?

It turned out there was a mixture. Early in Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone, we find out that she brought back three books. They are all important in their own way, and one of the books is certainly important for the future events of the book.

Green Eggs and Ham, Lord of the Rings, and more in Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone

The first book Brianna pulls out is Green Eggs and Ham. The Dr. Suess book is a favorite of many children now, and it’s not surprising that Mandy adores it. She even tries to show off her reading skills, although Jemmy and Germain interrupt her.

After this, Bree pulls out the other books. There are technically five books, although she only pulls out two others. The first is The Lord of the Rings.

Roger points out that the other two books in the trilogy are also in the bag. They thought it would be interesting for Jamie to read, and it’s not like the books would cause that much suspicion now. They’re fantasy books with elves and hobbits. Of course people of the time would just brush off the world of fantasy for superstition.

Jamie comes up with a great idea of everyone taking it in turn to read a chapter each night. I love that we get this reminder of how they connect as a family in the evenings. Claire thinks about how she, Jamie, Jenny, and Ian would spend their evenings decades earlier.

The last of the books is the most important one. Bree brings back a book written by Frank. It was published after Claire returned to the past, so she never knew about it. It’s one that seems to be about Jamie, making it clear that Frank spent a lot of time researching James Fraser. Just how much did he actually know about Claire and Bree being in the past?

This inclusion certainly brings up a lot of questions about Frank. It would be good to get a book about Frank to fill in some of these gaps.
