Loosely based on historical anecdotes, this is a collection of devilishly delightful brief biographies (including Emily Dickinson, Mozart, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, and Louisa May Alcott). Perfect for those who love literature too much to hold it too closely to actual facts, these imagined encounters between literary figures and their real or imagined family members, friends, and bitter enemies is guaranteed to delight. In Howard Moss''s satirical voice and Edward Gorey''s twenty-five deadpan illustrations, we see Jane Austen wielding artful passive aggression, the Alcott girls sculpting fudge, the rise of Emily Dickinson''s ruthless witch hazel business, among other delights.
