From the Publisher:
In "Brief Heroes & Histories," Holland wittily wends her way through the past with curiosity and offhanded eloquence. In this delightful miscellany, Holland sets her crafted sentences on the trail of such diverse figures as William Penn and Elvis Presley, and investigates topics ranging from the Orient Express to the history of ice cream.
Review:
"We sometimes hear ...that Russell Baker is a 'national treasure.' I vote to include Barbara Holland in this treasure chest." -- PHILADELPHIA ENQUIRER
