One of my all-time favorite books, I go back to it time and again. Set in pre-war Netherlands, the author "finds" a way to invite famous people in history to come to dinner. A delightful discussion of the invitees, their history, what they might have eaten at a typical dinner, a fascinating fantasy. The first dinner with Erasmus was such a success that they arrange for him to visit for a few weeks, offering insights on some of their other guests.You can't help but start thinking about who you would invite!
