What a sweet play! A vaguely remember the movie when it came it out, but never saw it. The play is very simply written, which I think adds to its charm and lends the characters a sense of reality.

Our Town By: Thornton Wilder
A re-read of this, in conjunction with a The Skin of Our Teeth re-read. Wilder's ability to write this beautifully quiet and simple piece and also The Skin of Our Teeth is an outstanding achievement. Both pieces are presentations of life; this one is deceptively simple in its presentation, and full of warmth, heart and real sense of community. The Skin of Our Teeth is the complete opposite. And yet both present life brilliantly.
The Skin of Our Teeth By: Thornton Wilder
A re-read of this, in conjunction with an Our Town re-read. Wilder's ability to write this completely bizarre and hectic piece and also Our Town is an outstanding achievement. Both pieces are presentations of life; this one is completely over the top, bizarre, and all over the place, and yet brilliant in its complete picture of perseverance. Our Town is the complete opposite. And yet both present life brilliantly.
Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries By: Heather Fawcett
A little bit fantasy, a little bit action/adventure, a little bit romance-and none of it muddled. Enchanting is the only was to describe this book.
