Today I learned that among the survivors of the Lusitania were a professor of art and archaeology[1] and a twelve-year-old girl,[2] who had become friends on the voyage and survived the shipwreck together. They remained friends and one day she told him that books written for girls were too boring—so he wrote an exciting one for her! You can read it today![3]
