Quoted: Grab Your Dancing Shoes

Today’s quote comes to us from Voltaire, from an article he wrote for his Dictionnaire philisophique. This seemingly lighthearted quote has a deeper meaning, much like the novel it inspired me to read: Dance, Gladys, Dance by Cassie Stocks (NeWest Press). Enjoy! –TS

According to Voltaire reading and dancing are two harmless activities we should all indulge in. With Dance, Gladys, Dance, the Stephen Leacock Award-winning novel by Cassie Stocks (published by NeWest Press) you can combine both!This hilarious and touching novel follows Frieda as she stumbles across Gladys—a elderly woman who is selling her phonogram because she no longer dances. Gladys also happens to be a ghost.As Frieda gets to know Gladys, she becomes determined to find out what happened to Gladys and hopefully get her dancing once again. She just might find out a few things about herself along the way.
