The Rea...Jane Austen's England was pretty good. The Real Jane Austen: A Life in Small Things is very good for the most part. I have Dining With Mr. Darcy but I haven't used it yet. It's good reading though. Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy: Four Women Undercover in the Civil War is very good though not for the academic reader. I'm currently reading Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder. She, of course, started my obsession with the 19th century (Thanks Mom and Dad for watching the TV show in front of me). So far the memoir is very interesting but the real life Ingalls family had a much darker experience in the west than the fictional family. Marmee and Louisa: The Untold Story of Louisa May Alcott and Her Mother (one of the other people responsible for my obsession with the 19th century) is very good. That reminds me that I need to bring a pencil for Abigail Alcott's grave. She was a talented writer in her own right.QNPoohBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14941631487565237299noreply@blogger.com
