After Jonathan Harker arrived at Castle Dracula, he was greeted and given a meal to eat on a very expensive golden table, however, he was not joined by the count due to important business. He describes to us about the fabrics in his room and hanging from his bed that were made centuries ago being in good condition and the value in which they may hold.
After sleeping the night in Castle Dracula, Harker decided to explore due to being bored and alone, he tried a door opposite his room, only to find in his disappointment that it was locked, although, he then found another room, filled with all sorts of books in English, like politics, political economy, geology and law - All relating to England.
After the count had found Harker in his library, Mr Harker decided to enquired about various sounds he had heard thoughout the night, for example; the howling of wolves, as well as asking about the blue flames that hover over ground with buried treasure within and was told about how the ground was concealed with blood of men who fought for it.

Well summarised. Why do you think that Dracula has so many books about England? Theoretically it should make JH feel at home... but does it? Or does it imply more that Dracula is preparing for an invasion of England - like a spy - learning all about the country before he goes there?

The free audio book of the month is Dracula - so you can get it free! There are other versions available on the net, but some of them sound like they were read by aliens.... This is somewhat better....
