One of my favorite books from childhood. Have read it countless times. Timeless classic.
I'm writing a gothic novel at the moment, so this was a very appropriate read indeed! Beatrice Poole is a "horrid novel" writer - she writes gothic novels, in other words. Leo Drake is an eccentric recluse and a renowned antiquities expert. They meet when she requests his help is tracking down the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite, "a mythic treasure she suspects played a role in her uncle's death". An entertaining read, complete with gothic settings and romance. "If you start an Amanda Quick book in the late afternoon, you'll probably spend the night with it." - The Denver Post. So true!
