Lavender and Old Lace (1902) by Myrtle Reed is not a splediferously wonderful, riproaringly funny, or impressively highfalutin book. But if you like a simple, easy read with a whimsical flavor, some light humor, and some romance without anything really objectionable, or if you are a fan of the Hallmark channel, even if you don't like the sappiness of the hallmark channel, and if you like a touch of the supernatural this is for you...if you have time. It's just a nice little novel. I did become enough on the edge of my seat that I sat on the floor in an uncomfortable position with my tablet plugged in when the battery ran down to a minimum. I wouldn't recommend it, however, if you don't have much time. If that is the case, go for something more pungent like L.M. Montgomery, Eleanor H. Porter, or Thomas Love Peacock.

For future reference, italicize book names. Lavender and Old Lace is the preferred rendering. (When you don't have italics, then quotes are the rule. Quotes are also the rule for short stories.)

Thank you for telling me. I had been wrestling with that for a while. I anted to save itaics for when I wanted to emphasize something (in my books). I wonder if I could get away with just puting quotes around it. I don't know know.

This used to be an accidental copy of the post "Lavender and Old Lace".
