It is sad that Eberhart's contribution to the Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone list, _The Patient in Room 18_ (1929), is out of print. She was well regarded by Bennett Cerf (long published by Random House).Elizabeth Foxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151714538393844565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-32221138514520507772008-02-23T18:11:00.000-08:002008-02-23T18:11:00.000-08:00I listen to the 1940s satellite channel these days...I listen to the 1940s satellite channel these days, and yesterday heard Bing Crosby sing Tooralooraloora, It's an Irish Lullaby, and suddenly I was back in a safe, sweet place. My childhood flooded back to me. I'm not Irish, but behind us lived the Costigans, and I absorbed their world as a boy (including their stories of the nuns who rapped their knuckles with rulers to maintain order in the classrooms at St. Bernard's). That world of Barry Fitzgerald, and Bing, and others too, such as Pat O'Brien, was a good world, and a world that even now fills me with the deepest peace imaginable. <BR/><BR/>Richard WheelerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
