“I was so captured by your famous dead people – I couldn’t put the book down.  It’s lovely, whimsical, meaty and mainly fun.  Not only did I learn a host of things…., I was also fascinated by the breadth and range of subjects.”

“Fancy!  300 pages of very informative and interesting texts and attractive photos about 8 European countries – among which France was given a large place with 10 chapters!  The style is so lively and pleasant.  For your readers it will be a discovery and a very exciting one.”
