“[The Clothes They Stood Up In is an] absolutely delicious, near perfect little book. You will read it in a couple of hours at most, but you will think about it for a long, long time.”

Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World

“One of the top ten books of 2001.”

Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World

Review:

“Full of jolly, broad, and very English humour...a charm-filled holiday read.”

Review:

“Sharp...a happy evening’s read and a tantalizing mental challenge to those of us who, like the Ransomes, find [our] lives encumbered and [our] senses blunted by too much stuff.”

Brooke Allen, The New York Times Book Review
