About the Author
Lestz, Margo: - "Margo Lestz is American by birth but now divides her time between London, England and Nice, France (with a few other places thrown in for good measure). She enjoys the fact that life in a foreign country is never dull and every day is a new learning experience. She describes herself as a perpetual student and is always taking some kind of course or researching a moment in history that has caught her fancy. She's curious by nature and always wondering who, what, why, when, where, and how. Margo shares her adventures (and her questions) with Jeff, her husband of many years. She enjoys travel, history, observing cultures and traditions - and then writing about them, of course."
