- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

Well I've already read Wuthering Heights. Though I could reread it I suppose.
Not sure Emmy is ready for The Wind in the Willows unless I can find a version with pictures on every page.
Inherit the Wind was a wonderful movie, I imagine the book must be as good or better.
Thanks for the suggestions, MLE.

[quote=""LoveHistory""]Finished Trade Wind. I love the complexity of the plot, the realness of the characters and of course the exotic locale, though it is far from a paradise. Will keep my eye out for more M.M. Kaye books.
[/quote] I've read almost all of M.M. Kaye's works, although many years ago. So I don't remember much of the details other than I really enjoyed them.

The Winds of War and A Voice in the Wind are both really good.
As for Wind in the Willows, I don't know if you or your children like audio books or dramatizations, but if so there is a wonderful one done by the BBC. It's available on CD, I got mine through The Book Depository. Some of the humor might be slightly over your children's heads, but you'll enjoy it.
The BBC has dramatized many classics, and they are all excellent.

I've finished "A History of the Wife" by Marilyn Yalom (409pgs, 2001)*. Interesting book, especially in the distant past.
