In England, she entertained Tennyson, Dickens, and other literary giants. She was witty and fought for the underdog in Egypt.<br /><br />I hope some of Milo's students like these posts, for no one else is visiting them. Oh, well, they were fun to write.<br /><br />DEATH IN THE HOUSE OF LIFE is fun also, though slow going what with all the research. Nikola Tesla and Oscar Wilde are also in it. I am going to have to look into THE GREATER JOURNEY. :-)Roland D.

If you're having fun writing Death in the House of Life, I'm sure we (your readers) will love it.<br /><br />PS - in The Greater Journey, a book I mentioned in my last post, there was mention of Margaret Fuller being in Paris in the mid 1800s, I believe. I knew about her because of your posts! So thanks for improving my knowledge!D.G.

Several have chosen Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe, and Emily Dickinson to write about.<br /><br />I hope the students find the posts enlightening and entertaining. :-)<br /><br />I'm very happy you have.<br /><br />I'm having fun writing Mark Twain in my DEATH IN THE HOUSE OF LIFE. Imagine Mark Twain in Egyptian on a mysterious archaeological dig!Roland D.

What an insight into handling loss. <br /><br />What a dear old Mark is!<br /><br />Is Milo aware of this series for his class?D.G.
