I read this long before I knew a key fact about Constance Hopkins, and I thought it was terrific. Of course, I still do. The tone of high spirits forced into apparent submission is perfect. I do think the cover illustration on the Beech Tree edition is awful; the cover on the Dell edition is far better. Key fact: she is my nine-times-great-grandmother. (Patricia Clapp, the author, is also ...             The Honorable Imposter (The House of Winslow #1)15 reviews Gilbert Morris Sagebrush, 1999 This is a great book... This is a remarkable story. It is full of history and I learned a lot about the ways of life of the puritans from reading it. You will meet the characters you find in your history books in a way you never knew them before! I read it very quickly because the characters were so well developed and the plot exciting. The romance was wonderful, but this isn't a romance novel so it wasn't overdone. ...             The Pilgrim's Progress33 reviews John Bunyan Paradine, 1978 A Treasure!!
