I was convinced I had read this a long time ago - now I'm not so sure. Enjoyable so far.It started well and I found the beginning half very interesting but got a bit too 'romantic' for me - not only in the boy meets girl story - but in the depiction of the close-knit Guides, the 'third man' for Ash ...
Oh my goodness, this was such a delightful book! I'm glad that I picked it up - sometimes it's easy to discount these kinds of books, but this one is a perfect example of why it's silly to do so. Princess Amy is the seventh daughter of King Hulderbrand and Queen Rhodesia. All throughout history, the...
After the verbose and ultimately boring pages I have thus far read, I began to wonder if this book would be a waste of time. The "epic" nature of this book appears to only be in the number of pages, which I can guarantee could have easily been cut in half. Unless you have a deep interest in Indian p...

In view of the far-reaching effects that a few words mumbled by a disreputable old Irishwoman were to have on the life of Hero Athena Hollis, only child of Barclay Hollis of Boston, Massachusetts, it would be interesting to know to what degree, if any, pre-natal influence was responsible for her cha...
By the time I'd finished reading the jacket copy, I was hooked. I managed to pull in the Possum by reading the copy aloud. This was published in '80, when I was too old for children's books, and I didn't even hear tell of it til recently. A marvelous twist on fairy tales, and the art is amazing. Hig...
A gorgeous, enthralling tale of two doomed lovers in the India of the British Raj. Massive read, but you're not going to want it to stop either. I've loved this tale of Ash and Anjuli, full of mystery, intrigue, and told in a way you won't forget. Five stars all around. For the longer review, please...
