I just read <i>Fraulein Schmidt and Mr. Anstruther</i> in November (it wasn't a favourite, but I still enjoyed it, especially because I have a 'thing' for epistolary novels). I'm trying to portion them out because I want them to last, and it's not hard to spin out the process because her books are hard to find second-hand in Canada.Buried In Printhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808249065026802365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942500966976732451.post-21919073019523432242010-01-28T12:26:25.937+00:002010-01-28T12:26:25.937+00:00I desperately want The caravaners.

Because I saw that in there the day me and Naomi came to visit and resisted buying it because I have so many unread Von Arnims already and I actually said to Naomi - 'I'll leave that for Verity!'. It would be too funny if it was the same one!<br /><br />I have only read The Enchanted April, but I have Elizabeth and Her German Garden, The Caravaners, Love and Vera lined up to read. The Enchanted April was divine - I read it in August!Rachel (Book Snob)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13669640788036671572noreply@blogger.com
