I went on a big Tey binge a year or two ago. Can't believe I had never heard of her before.
Brat Farrar is my favorite, along with The Daughter of Time.
Young Simon: So... how'd the Independents cut us off? Young River: They were using dinosaurs.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I still haven't read Brat Farrar, partly because the old Mystery adaptation is still in my brain.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Can't believe I had never heard of her before.
How is that possible? Maybe because Betsy doesn't post here anymore.
Daughter of Time was voted the greatest mystery of all time by a large poll of mystery writers.

Except the historians now mostly agree that it's hogwash.
I first learned about Tey from watching the Mystery adaptation of Brat Farrar as well. I really liked the actor in it, as I recall.

Does that change the book?
