"I re-read these books every year, marveling at how a world so quaint - Shirtwaists Pompadours Merry Widow hats - can feature a heroine who is undeniably modern." -- Laura Lippman
"There are three authors whose body of work I have re-read more than once over my adult life: Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and Maud Hart Lovelace." -- Anna Quindlen
