Favorite Book By Abbott?

This just might be my favorite book by Abbott that I’ve read thus far! I also appreciate the boldness of writing about a woman of power like Margaret of Anjou in a time when women were often overlooked.
Well read.

Jacob Abbott is a new author to me, and this is the second book of his I have listened to. Book is very well written and full of interesting historic facts with the human element included so well. I feel I know Margaret of Anjou much better and can sympathise with her., and am glad Indid not live then!! Thank you for reading so well. ....... now to find another Abbot book to listen to!

Good but reader, please stop saying punctuation out loud. It is unnecessary and takes us out of the story /conversation and makes it hard to follow and extremely irritating. We are all smart enough to understand when a person is speaking with out you saying "He said quote no unquote then went on to say quote I'll go too unquote" please and thank you for volunteering and reading so clear and quick
