Journal Entry 1 by wingeponine38wing from Winchester, Massachusetts USA on Sunday, June 30, 2013
Entertaining collection of writings about aunts, including some personal reminiscences from friends of the author. The book was originally published in the UK; for this American version Beth Brophy added some pieces geared more to this side of the pond.

Chapter titles:
A Short History of the Aunt
Mothering Aunts
Heroic Aunts
X-Rated Aunts :-)
Brand-Name Aunts
Exotic and Eccentric Aunts
Damned Bad Aunts
Literary Aunts
Fairy-Tale Aunts
Honorary Aunties
The Good Aunt Guide

and then a very personal epilogue about Christiansen's Aunt Janet.

[I also kept a dictionary nearby while reading; it probably says more about me than the author that so many words (and wonderful ones at that) were new to me!

Released 10 yrs ago (6/30/2013 UTC) at Starbucks - 1465 Massachusetts Ave. in Arlington, Massachusetts USA
