I deleted the Trivia-part about Emily saving Teddy. ("The novels take place during the beginning of the 20th century. Although years are left out (written as 19-- in letters and diary entries), hints of the time period are given through mentions of dress, attitudes, and outside events. In one example, in Emily's Quest, Emily keeps Teddy from going on the ship the Lusitania, which historically was torpedoed May 7, 1915, as part of World War I.") The ship is called Flavian and was not torpedoed, but hit an iceberg. See "Emily's Quest" Chapter X: "It was during his absence that the world was horrified by the tragedy of the Flavian's fatal collision with an iceberg. The headlines struck Emily in the face like a blow. Teddy was to have sailed on the Flavian (...)."
[edit] Musical adaption
Does anybody have any information they can add about the musical version? I think it played for just one or two years at the Confederation Centre of the Arts, but I don't know anything else. Booberfish (talk) 16:34, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] I love this book
These book are wonderful. Emily reminds me very much of myself, even her appearance. Definitely read them, they are touching and inspiring.
