I'm so glad you feel as I do about Beverly Nichols. I have an Abyssinian kitten named Amber-Apricot under-coat ticked with seal brown. So there will be a cat book when I get time to finish it. New England is splashed with color now and beautiful. Have a happy October”. Gladys Taber (1899-1980) was a writer and professor who published dozens of books.
