P.G. Wodehouse, of course! :)Summer of the Monkeys
There were parts I could hardly read aloud to my children I was laughing so hard.
Handel's Messiah: Comfort for God's PeopleI'm pretty sure this is the one I listened to on audio....fascinating.
Just finished Brand Luther by Andrew Pettegree.
I recently enjoyed, 'The Prize Winner of Defiance, Iowa'.For a bit of fantasy, anything by N.D. Wilson. 'Lepike Ridge' was my favorite.
