Author quotations: Alan Bradley

From the mouths of babes -- or in this case, a fictional creation of Alan Bradley, the hyper-observant pre-teen sleuth, Flavia de Luce:

The ripples of this remark echo in the mind of the listener far beyond the level of a literal comment by an eleven-year-old of Flavia's era.
