5.0 out of 5 stars WE NEED ALL OF MISS SIBLEY'S BOOK REPRINTED!, November 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Christmas in Georgia (Hardcover)

Celestine sibley has written about 25 books. Almost all of them are either out of print or out of stock. I tell you, this is a fine how do you do! Some publisher will do all of us a great favor, and do LIFE one too, if he/she will please get these books back out into the stores. I never read one I didn't like. If there WAS one I didn't like, I liked it anyway. They make me glad. Do you KNOW how special that is? These books make me remember to slow down and cherish all of life. They make me wish I had a porch!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book brings back so many fond memories, November 5, 1999

This review is from: Christmas in Georgia (Hardcover)

My mother used to read this book to me and my brothers every Christmas season when we were children. Being in a military family, we rarely spent Christmas in Georgia, which was our home of record. When I was expecting my first child and part of a new military family, my mother gave me a copy of this book and all those cozy memories of Christmas readings came back to me. If you can't celebrate Christmas in Georgia, Celestine Sibley takes you there with her timeless tales.

Dear Friends, I miss Miss Sibley and I miss Georgia. I tell you, if you were born in the South, no matter where you live forever after, you carry it with you in your heart. The way I get close to my heart these days, when I miss the South the most, is to read all of Celestine Sibley's books. I am so heartened that they are now being re-printed. If you have not read any of them, you are lucky. You have the whole wonderful experience to look forward to. I wish you peace.

PS. Since Miss Sibley is not here to tell you new iron skillet owners this, I will tell you. Do not wash it with soap ever, after you have seasoned it.. Use a brush and really hot water. A good way to season an iron skillet at first is to fry a large amount of potatoes in it. That way you season the skillet and get something good to eat at the same time!! :)
