Thank you, Dorcas.

I was finally able to order it through Inter library loan from a small library in a small town quite a few miles away. Obviously, she is not a popular author for libraries to stock.

My mom is a casual gift sort of person. If you get a gift at all it's a bit of a shock. If you get it in a Walmart bag...she went all out! :D Once she went to a quite ritzy shower, not quite gowns and tiaras but definitely a step or two above us. She arrived in the city, shopped the gift registry, made her purchase and arrived at the shower...only to discover that, of course, gift wrap had never crossed her mind. When the moment came she sheepishly handed over her bag. The bride-to-be grinned and announced, "We're brown bag sort of people." That's why we're friends. ;) <br /><br />When I share a good book with someone, I always feel like I'm introducing them to a new friend. :) Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016651424843016959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-2066324120056994822015-10-28T13:48:22.682-07:002015-10-28T13:48:22.682-07:00It is so lovely that you have discovered D.E.

I discovered her 30 or so years ago, when I should have been doing something important and earnest, rather than chuckling quietly to myself. And then running to the library to see if I could find another one!Kay Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-40498114622250836982015-10-28T11:29:24.449-07:002015-10-28T11:29:24.449-07:00Loved this!!

I adore this kind of British woman writer and I've collected a lot. <br /><br />ALso, I have a dear friend Marilou who brings stacks of secondhand books to any occasion or meet-up of friends and doles them out with a genius for who might like what. She has introduced me to so many authors that I love. In fact, I have a little competition with her husband to see if I can find an author that he has not read/loved.Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-66620030049114118142015-10-28T07:44:29.434-07:002015-10-28T07:44:29.434-07:00Also, the Mrs. Tim series is just as good...Also, the Mrs. Tim series is just as good...Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980213558796847033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-22196636902552186112015-10-28T07:35:14.730-07:002015-10-28T07:35:14.730-07:00Miss Buncles Book is one of my favorites!!
