Description: (Mary Stewart Anthology) Moonspinners / Nine Coaches Waiting / The Ivy Tree / Madam, Will You Talk? I haven't yet read 9 coaches Waiting, and I am just 1/2 way through Moonspinners and find it spellbinding and amazing, as I do every Mary Stewart book I have read! I very much enjoyed both The Ivy Tree and Madam, Will You Talk - they are both very different reads!!

**Pcitiyank gave this Anthology, 5 of 5 stars: May 6, 2013 The Genesis of Romantic Suspense** --- editor

**If you read the books in this anthology, or indeed any of Mary Stewart's classics, you would then understand why her readers find it impossible to give a five star review to many other books in any genre.** While her fans favor various of her books over one another, each embodies the formula for what I believe defines a really great novel.

**Several are set in Greece and others in venues similarly romantic and historic. While the romance is PG, the sexual tension and intrigue are unsurpassed.** The characters are well defined and the locals painted as graphically as a perfectly composed and ideally lit picture. **She has a way with a turn of phrase and amply illustrates the art of a well written and edited book. They put you there. So artfully written, each sentence is a delight to read.**

**My personal favorites are The Moonspinners (see also the old [1964 Hayley Mills] Walt Disney movie), This Rough Magic and My Brother Michael. But read them all and decide for yourself.**
