          <body><![CDATA[My dad read this book aloud to my brother and I, we were in pre-school and first grade (respectively). We were swept away, it's a magical unreal journey. Kindled a life long love of naturalists and survivors.]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[What an fantastically original life! She did exactly as her heart demanded and dealt with every consequence squarely. An expertly researched biography, ruthless but always sympathetic. My friend Chip Wass gave me this book on my 27th birthday. Thank you Chip!]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[I love biographies in general but this one is unusually irresistable. It's been keeping me up late. I'm amazed by Zelda Fitzgerald's writing -- her letters and her fiction, at once utterly lucid and otherworldy. Next I will read whatever of hers I can get my hands on.]]></body>
