This was the first book I read by Wm. Wharton. I found it so interesting I couldn't put it down. It held my interest right away. I loved it. He is a very detailed writer and keeps my interested to the end. I continued to find other books by him.Ever After is another to hold ones interest. As before he is an exellent writer. Would love to see his paintings also.I would say anyone who reads his books won't be disappointed.Eleanor C.Roby
