Praise for this book
Well-written, clear and informed, they have a breezy wit about them...I find them hard to stop reading.
Witty, illuminating, and blessedly concise.
Each of these little books is witty and dramatic and creates a sense of time, place, and character...I cannot think of a better way to introduce oneself and one's friends to Western civilization.
A godsend in this era of the short attention span.
