The Grand Dame Of Them ALLLLLL

But wait up, there lassies—to do my duty to the world of literature, and my fellow lovers of timeless stories, meticulous history and dubious heroes I must also include this link

to Lady Dorothy Dunnett Official Website There are not enough words in the English language to praise this Grand Dame of Literature. No one could be more erudite. No one could be more meticulous in their historical research. No one could compete with her cultured, scholarly repertoire. But to bundle that up with a kilt and a bawdy Scotswoman, and, weill…it’s enuff tah maik ya tink tat ‘eaven be missin’an angel…. As a testament to her writing, I will admit to reading every one of her books, at least three times, and I will never, ever lend one of them out! (By the way, they are published with the Dorothy Dunnett Companions I & II which are a must if you haven’t been educated at Oxford and you still would like to follow her…)
