[stylist] A Discovery

[Lynda Lambert]

Jackie, the book just ignited my fire - the classics (the ancients) are so 
thrilling to me. The Classical Greek period is so powerful in art and 
literature and  I enter into it and never want to turn around to leave. It 
stays with me and captures my thoughts like nothing else can do. The 
Classical Greeks set the standard.

My daughter had a course in Greek Mythology in college and it really rocked 
her world - turned her mind upside down. She was frustrated, and confused, 
at first encounters, but then, she "got it." One is never the same person 
after such encounters and it never disappoints me.  This author truly is 
remarkable and I cannot wait to get MORE of her books to read. I ask myself, 
where have I been that I had never read anything of hers until now? But now 
is perfect.
