"""My favorites [vignettes] are about her childhood, including how important the visits of the bookmobile were and how she and her brother would read to each other and act out the books they checked out."" --www.ucplBookChallenge.blogspot.com ""A delightful, sorrowful, but overall amazing account of a woman's and a witch's life. . . . An autobiography that any hearth or kitchen witch would love, as at her core, it was who Cora Anderson was. . . . A beautiful book full of beautiful tales and wisdom."" --Pagan Bookworm ""Visiting Victor and Cora meant stepping into a magical realm hidden behind the facade of an ordinary suburban house. Victor would sit in his rocking chair; I'd ask questions, and he would roam the galaxies in his answers. Cora would chime in with warmth, wisdom and common sense. And then we might go do magic."" --Starhawk, author, The Spiral Dance"
