This is one of those books that you can't put down. When you must, because it takes only two hours to read it, you want to put it into the hands of everyone you know - young, old, at home and abroad. It has special value as a record of a time and a place - Sydney, Australia in the 1890s - but it has a universal relevance.

Eugénie McNeil, in her 80s, impressed her daughter with the sharpness and clarity of her childhood recollections. Her daughter, Eugénie Crawford, wrote down all she heard as her mother reminisced. This little book, first published in 1972, is the result. If reminiscences gleaned from the elderly are often of limited and local interest, this makes an exception. You will meet an array of sharply observed characters, depicted with wit, charm, and a wicked sense of humour.

One such is a rarely seen middle-aged bachelor, Mr Chapman. His annual appearance proved to be the most popular item at the local church social. "He carefully drew and line down the middle of his face and blackened one side. With this side towards us he declaimed the lines of the jealous Moor. Facing the other way, he spoke in profile the part of Iago. I'm sure it was only the possession of a particularly bushy moustache that discouraged him from attempting Desdemona."

Look out for it, ask for it, and urge periodic reprints. My daughter, another Eugénie, found it in an antique shop in an Australian country town. It has been well circulated since then.

This book, Business and Legal Forms for Photographers is a very valuable resource. I completely recommend this book for anyone getting into photography as a profession.

Can a country club girl ever win a stubborn cowboy's heart.

***Excerpt***

There was something very appealing about Steve Calvert, Kenzie thought as he draped an arm around her shoulders and led her into the barn. Once inside, Steve stood still. There was something in the way he looked at Kenzie that made her catch her breath. And then he kissed her.

That unexpected kiss sent sweet chills through her. She responded instantly, thrilled by the touch of his soft lips on hers.

The next thing she knew, Steve was pulling away as though she'd bitten him. "Sorry," he muttered. "That won't happen again." Abruptly he started walking down the aisle between the stalls, pointing out the horses that needed to be saddled.

Kenzie stared after him. Why was he acting like they'd done something wrong? She wasn't at all sorry they'd kissed. But what if Steve hadn't liked kissing her?

I really loved this book! I live in the shadow of the White Mountains and knew the legend of the Crawford's, but this really brought it to life. Now I must go back and re-read Lucy Crawford's history, and I look forward to reading other books by this author.

This book is one of the best books. It tells about two people's lives in worn torn Austria. It is great for the reading level that it is at and I have read it about 5 times. if you want a good book please take this book into consideration.

An excellent novel about the powerful love between a Polish boy and a German soldier during WWII. It really hits on the readers ideas about homosexuals and what rights they should have. Very well written. Appropriate for age 15 and up.
