This review is from: Mary Stewart Omnibus: Madam, Will You Talk? / Wildfire at Midnight / Nine Coaches Waiting (Hardcover)

One of my favourite authors, not only are her stories very readable, the glimpses into the 60's and the 70's are fascinating to those who grew up in those years. Note: the emphasis on recreation smoking (cigarettes).
