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.

In case Lavender and Old Lace is your cup of tea (or whatever beverage you prefer) here is the free pdf:

I enjoyed your descriptive take on the book enough to be interested in the link to the book, and almost found myself right to it! I was surprised and delighted you could offer it right after the warm up to the idea of reading it. Cheerio... and thanks for the ideas.
