Mrs Poppet was born and raised in the California valley, though her delight in English tea, literature, and rainfall lead some to believe otherwise. Immensely grateful for modern comforts and communication, her heart is still captured by the romance of bygone eras, and will rarely scribble anything that isn't primarily a love story.

Her writing proclivities tend toward fairy tale retellings and Jane Austen fan-works, each genre seemingly writing themselves when the inspiration strikes. Mrs Poppet is not affiliated with any Jane Austen fan groups but attempts to do her utmost in preserving the historical and cultural integrity of the characters she takes liberties with.

She currently resides in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, facing the

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

"So.
I finished it.

Warning:
If you are a fan of classic literature and/or are utterly devoid of a sense of humor this review may not be for you.
Also:
Yes, I realize that I'm a moron with zero literary credibility. So, stop reading right now if the sound " Read more of this review »

Shockingly, this was the first time I've read this gem, despite knowing the 1995 movie adaptation by heart. I now know that the Shirley Temple version is the most unlike the novel, and the 1986 miniseries is the most accurate.

Well, I should have trusted my instincts and rejected this based on the cover. Modern hair and makeup for a book given an historical setting is forgivable if the fantasy element outshines the historical, or all inaccuracies are done in a fun way, but ...more

“Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.”
Joseph Addison

“People have forgotten this truth," the fox said. "But you mustn’t forget it. You become responsible forever for what you’ve tamed. You’re responsible for your rose.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“Wait on the Lord" is a constant refrain in the Psalms, and it is a necessary word, for God often keeps us waiting. He is not in such a hurry as we are, and it is not his way to give more light on the future than we need for action in the present, or to guide us more than one step at a time. When in doubt, do nothing, but continue to wait on God. When action is needed, light will come.”
J.I. Packer, Knowing God

“And if my choice is to sit graciously in my best robes and accept the inevitable or to bail a sea with a bucket, give me the bucket.”
Robin McKinley, Chalice

Never,' he tells me in a tone full of ice, 'underestimate who or what I care for.”
Melina Marchetta, On the Jellicoe Road
