She certainly did create some memorable stories. I agree with Yvette that <i>The Daughter of Time</i> is a standout, but a lot of her work is great.

My favorite is and always will be THE DAUGHTER OF TIME though I also love BRAT FARRAR, A SHILLING FOR CANDLES and THE SINGING SANDS. Sad to say, THE FRANCHISE AFFAIR is not on my list of favorites. I never did really get into it and maybe it's just that I read it at the wrong time or maybe I was expecting something else. Anyway, I know I'm in the minority.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-61905650974560413182017-12-22T11:04:18.860-05:002017-12-22T11:04:18.860-05:00It's not true that there are no photographs of...It's not true that there are no photographs of Josephine Tey. I have one and went to find the original URL to prove it to you and then saw that were over a dozen different photos of her! Including one taken with her sisters. If you want to learn more about her there is a biography that was recently published: A Life: Josephine Tey by Jennifer Morag Henderson.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-88930281464562021152017-12-22T10:57:32.066-05:002017-12-22T10:57:32.066-05:00Mine's up now:
