About the Author

Andrew Lang (March, 31, 1844 July 20, 1912) was a Scottish writer and literary critic who is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. Lang s academic interests extended beyond the literary and he was a noted contributor to the fields of anthropology, folklore, psychical research, history, and classic scholarship, as well as the inspiration for the University of St. Andrew s Andrew Lang Lectures. A prolific author, Lang published more than 100 works during his career, including twelve fairy books, in which he compiled folk and fairy tales from around the world. Lang s Lilac Fairy and Red Fairy books are credited with influencing J. R. R. Tolkien, who commented on the importance of fairy stories in the modern world in his 1939 Andrew Lang Lecture On Fairy-Stories.

From AudioFile

The expert narration of Judith Boyd perfectly captures this fascinating saga of five women and one amazing serial womanizer. The story moves between Antwerp, Rio, Paris, Bath, and Venice with Boyd never missing a beat as each woman slowly comes to realize that she's been duped and must come to terms with it. Boyd is a master at quoting thoughts and even more adept at translating every emotion of the story. Boyd's skill also helps maintain clarity as the settings change. One can hardly say enough to recommend this unusual story. A perfect listen. S.G.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award � AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright � AudioFile, Portland, Maine
