Reactions and Reviews
I recently purchased The Horn Dance of Abbots Bromley by Catherine Schlein and I absolutely loved it. The characterizations were right on and the story was extremely compelling. I read the whole zine in one sitting and never once looked up at the clock. It was that good. I have since read it four more times and enjoyed myself every time. Please pass on my 'Thank You!' to Ms. Schlein and let her know that I was hoping for a good read and she far surpassed my expectations. I look forward to more tales from her in the future. [3]
