And of course there's the strong willed Amilia Peabody, the Victorian woman who digs in tombs and solves crimes in the late 1800s and early1900s. Love her..learn a lot about Egypt reading those books.

And of course I have all of Diane Mott Davidtson's books, love them. Susan Whiting Albert, love her characters.
Absolutely love the old Manning Coles books about the WW2, fell in love with Tommy Hambleton a lot of years ago, some of them are funny and some are nice ghost stories when I am disgusted with the violence and ugliness in some books I borrow from the library.
I have all of Diane Mott Davidson's. I love them. Edie
