Maybe that is why I felt it went on too long. <br /><br />The Little White Horse continues to be my favorite!CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-3773384009788442802016-02-07T17:19:33.998-08:002016-02-07T17:19:33.998-08:00Oh, please do try her again -- I think this is her...Oh, please do try her again -- I think this is her worst book by far.

Probably her most interesting book to me was her autobiography. You are right, she was mystical. <br /><br />She made one point in her autobiography that really stuck with me, and I don't remember coming across it anywhere else, and that is that so many men of her generation died in World War I, that a woman of her age in Britain had virtually no chance of marrying unless she was exceptionally attractive or very well off.Dustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07990774359813850636noreply@blogger.com
