Bookworm, bluestocking, opera singer, actress, cynic, vaudevillian, spinner of stories, weaver of tales, lover, dreamer, and Wayward Victorian Girl, also known as Violet, British Girl on Holiday in 1940's New York City. I read books, sing songs, and make smart remarks. Occasionally, I convince well-meaning adults that I am completely, absolutely, beautifully mad. Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them. That is all.
