I was surprised by how much I liked this non-fiction account of the Marines and Navy during the Jefferson presidency. Every story was interesting and well-told, and I love history!

Much better than "Peter and Wendy"! Those darling fairies and the birds - Solomon is my favorite.

This little book was everything I wanted it to be! After seeing the movie many times, I had to read the book, and I was pleased to see that they are almost exactly alike, even down to some of the dialogue. Of course, I was imagining the actors through the entire thing, and I loved it!

Sweet little Mrs. Muir is widowed with two little children, and to escape her husband's interfering relations, she moves into a cottage by the sea. But this cottage is haunted by an old sea captain's ghost! Mrs. Muir befriends the ghost and the two learn to tolerate each other, and even support and rely on one another through the ups and downs of the years.

There's a fresh sort of charm about the story and the writing. I really love the writing style, and every sentence pulled me in.
Mrs. Muir is completely adorable! I just want to hug her and give her a cup of tea.

There is a huge contrast between the characters that makes for an interesting setup. While Mrs. Muir is soft-spoken, innocent, and meek, Captain Gregg's ghost is a very masculine man with forceful language and no nonsense. However, she does not let herself be bullied by him... most of the time. Their friendship is just delightful!

The plot really forces those two into some wild social circumstances, and I loved seeing them fight it out together. I adore this book!

Strange and compelling! Enjoyable, very descriptive and vivid writing.

I like the humor in this one. It made me laugh. Lovely wording; I found myself getting caught up in a single phrase for moments at a time. Can't remember the last time I enjoyed poetry so much!

Jack Worthing has two identities; he is Jack in the country, and masquerades as his own fictional brother, Ernest, while he is in London. His best friend, Algernon, has a similar deception; a fictional friend named Bunbury who is a constant invalid, requiring Algy to visit him whenever Algy wants an excuse to miss his Aunt Augusta's boring dinner parties. The two gentlemen find themselves in difficulties when their sweethearts find out the truth about their deceptions.

This play is deliciously witty and hilarious, with a charming style and silly dialogue. The characters are frivolous, and the plot is delightfully ridiculous. I have read it twice now, and seen a few of the movies several times, and it never gets old! I always laugh and chuckle and giggle my way through each act.
