I love knowing there are Dorothy Gilman fans out there. I think she is such a wonderful writer. Mrs. P. is a real role model for older women. And I love all the places she goes. DG brings them alive. I haven't read Caravan but will check it out. I also haven't read Thale's Folly, Clairvoyant Countess, or Kaleidoscope, but plan to. Thanks again for your notes.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-52661652344127918152010-06-24T10:39:52.223-04:002010-06-24T10:39:52.223-04:00The quote at the end has me thinking and thinking....The quote at the end has me thinking and thinking.
