To my complete astonishment, my Adorable Niece asked for a biography of Margaret Thatcher for Christmas.

*boggles*

So, what can I give her as a companion book? I already intend to give her The Princess Bride, for it is a delight, but a biography of another high achieving woman who, well, isn't Margaret Thatcher?

There's an interesting thought. I'll investigate - thanks for the suggestion.

I thought she might appreciate the Thatcher connection.
