Bachelor Brothers' Bed And Breakfast
by
"The original book from which this list and its explanations are taken. Very funny, warm, comforting. Like being hugged and wrapped up in a warm blanket while holding a hot cup of tea."

The Complete Fairy Tales
by
"Andersen's stories are great works of world literature but all too often are regarded as the exclusive property of children. The joy in reading these stories comes from seeing a fully formed imagination in full flight. They remind us of what it is possible for us to do and become. Hence, they are more than stories. They are affirmations. (Bill Richardson)"

An Alphabet for Gourmets
by
"W. H. Auden, who was no slouch, thought M. F. K. Fisher was among the finest prose stylists writing in English. She is celebrated as a food writer, although she said her subject was more properly hunger: the human hunger for love. Mrs. Fisher's abcedarius for foodies is full of sterling, sensual examples of her gift for moving tangentially from the starting point of nourishment into broader and universal concerns. (Bill Richardson)"
