My mom loves Penman. I got her Here Be Dragons and some others including this one years ago, and she's since read all her work. Do you know of other authors who are as good as Penman?

For me it's gone: Stack on top of shelves. Then stack on floor. Then put in packing boxes. Now I'm in the stack packing boxes on floor phase...
