“There was a wonderful little short four-year time period when marvelous things happened. It started in 1908, when the Wright brothers flew in Paris, and everybody said, 'Ooh, hey, I can do that.' There's only a few people that have flown in early 1908. In four years, 39 countries had hundreds of airplanes, thousands of pilots.” PeopleYearsLittlesSaidI CanCountryCan DoFourWonderfulHappenedBrotherPeriodsThings HappenHeyParisFour YearsPilotsAirplaneMarvelousFlewTime PeriodsMarvelous ThingsWright Brothers Author:Burt Rutan
“If Henry James were still with us, he'd not only approve of Paris, He Said, he could have written it himself, though without his serpentine syntax. It's a delicious treat, studded with wise and beautifully observed detail, that places side by side those perpetually fascinating antagonists, the eager, casual American and the meticulous, pleasure-driven French. Christine Sneed knows everyone's intimate secrets and her book is lively, amusing, and, ultimately, kind to pretty much all of them.” IfsKnowsKindSaidStillsBookSidesPleasureSecretWiseWrittenTreatsDetailsDrivenParisIntimateFascinatingDeliciousCasualAmusingLivelyAntagonistSyntaxMeticulousChristine Author:Rosellen Brown
