"So far, I'm enjoying this intriquing story told through a narrative of letters. It's like coming across an old box in an attic, full of carefully stored correspondence and reading each note, trying to piece together the characters, the events and their stories, while breathing the air of another era."

"For some reason, I have been hesitant about reading this, but I have recently become a fan of the author through some of her talks, and so the book has finally made it onto my "to read" shelf.

Here are some video links if you are interested in hearing those talks:"

"I love this book and it should be on the bookshelf of every word lover, especially if they happen to be sticklers for correct usage of punctuation. With humour, the author points out such subtleties at how meanings can become distorted with just a simple comma in the wrong place. You would be surprised at how many errors there are out there, just glaring at us from advertisements and public announcements. After reading this book you will never take the squiggle of a comma or semi-colon for granted."

"Inspiring. Insightful. Will make your creative wings flutter. This is so much more than a book on mixed media techniques. I poured over every page taking in Kelly Rae's artwork and her honest, sensitive, wise voice encouraging you to listen to those creative murmurings and to believe in their potential. This is an absolute must for any creative soul's bookshelf.

"Looking forward to trying this method and waiting for that 'Le Creuset' cast iron pot to go on sale. I have have it on more than one source that taking one of these loaves from the oven is like heaven. I will let you know..."

Recommend: Not until I have baked a few of these loaves myself, and that will probably be in Autumn.
