I enjoy letting my imagination wander as the author intended. Our world is terribly fast paced these days. A good book could be thought of as a retreat. It could slows us down and do wonders for our health. Sometimes I feel I was born in the wrong century!Sharon Himslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835934582653243661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908408097679531435.post-53820447882640977292016-02-08T12:32:40.138-08:002016-02-08T12:32:40.138-08:00I read comments by readers how they hate long desc...I read comments by readers how they hate long descriptive passages. I guess they just don't want to let their imaginations wander with the author through scenic spots such as this. Personally, I love to "see" and "feel" through the author's words.cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908408097679531435.post-72479258461663335112016-02-08T12:29:26.848-08:002016-02-08T12:29:26.848-08:00It was pretty popular with older generations.

"Merry England" pulls me right in.

She got a little dreamy-eyed just talking about it. Can't recall if I read it or not, but there was this old book Mom had once. May have been it.
