Good writing is good writing is good writing -- wherever one finds it. Even if you're not a fan of mysteries, if you love witty and excellent writing, as well as unforgettable characters and clever plots, you won't regret reading this book. If you remember "Your Show of Shows" from television's golden age, you'll understand the high praise for this book, because the author was one of the writers of that masterpiece of wit and erudition -- the only woman so honored.

Maggie Rome is a woman that other women will enjoy reading about: she has a husband, two sons, a dog, a career, and occasionally fibs about her age--but only by three years. She is perceptive, a good cook, although a somewhat recalcitrant housekeeper, an amateur pianist of some capability, and the star reporter of the Sloan's Ford Reporter. The C. B. Greenfield of the title is the owner and publisher of the weekly paper in upstate New York, a cellist and music lover, and a man whose way with words and love of puzzles exasperates Maggie almost beyond bearing. Sometimes.

This is the first of five stories about Maggie and C.B.,--I'd already read one of the others--and have every intention of reading the others. In fact, I intend to search out all the books and add them to my collection; I need them handy to re-read when I need a pick-me-up. I wish that one of the publishers of mystery stories would bring them out again in new editions. Unfortunately, it would be too late for the author, whose pen was stilled in January 1999. We're all diminished by her passing.

A detailed, meticulously thought out, legal compendium, expressed with the characteristic limpidity of the author.

A true guide through the labyrinth of Connecticut mental health law in its various aspects.

"The book...is full of tales of extraordinary people, events and places that make up Connecticut's surprisingly rich tradition."
--The New York Times

"Nutmeggers are fortunate to have nuggets of Connecticut's rich New England lore preserved and artfully served up by a master storyteller, David Philips." --The Hartford Courant

"LEGENDARY CONNECTICUT is lovely, and it is loving. Philips has a way with words, and he likes to tell a story. It's evident, and his appreciation for history is strong. Any Connecticut resident, ardent New Englander, sometime-weekender, history buff, or folklore buff will appreciate Philips effort." --The Lakeville Journal

This book tells about Ellen Elizabeth Barlow. Ellen, called Ellie, is a little girl who lives in Connecticut during the American Revolution. Ellie has many adventures. She goes to visit her grandmother and is able to deliver a message to the American Army.

I began my interest in miniature paintings several years ago, but found that long searches on the internet rarely produced any new information on this topic. Owning about 4 "worthwhile" books in my collection on the subject, I anxiously awaited Robin Jaffee Frank's book (which I became aware was "in the works" about 6 months before publication). I hoped that this book would be the frosting on the cake of knowledge I possessed on miniatures. I was delighted to find it is the cake itself. Miniature itself in size, it contains a whopping 358 pages packed with information and insights, along with plenty of full-size illustrations. It's presented in a format that can be easily followed, with many paintings also shown magnfied to enhance the concept being presented. You will want to take your time in reading and relishing this book, there's alot of information here. Well worth the wait.

Having just moved from a congenial to the less-forgiving gardening zone of the Northeast (CT)..it has been great to have this as a reference.

When I was researching my historical fiction children's book, Tagger, Alone Along the Mystic River, to assure historical accuracy, I used Bill Peterson's book as a reference point. He's done a masterful job of capturing the shipbuilding activities that took place on the Mystic River. Also, he's recognized as the number one expert on life on the Mystic throughout its history.

As the author of the historical fiction, Tagger, Alone Along the Mystc River, I can confirm that the "Mystic Coast" is a well-researched and presented depiction of this beautiful New England coastline. Their pictures and illustrations do it justice.
