Fancy Words Are Simply Fascinating!

From everyone's favorite fancy girl comes an alphabetical guide to enhancing vocabulary. Why say beautiful when there are fancy words like gorgeous and glamorous?

About the Authors

Since the publication of Fancy Nancy, Jane O′Connor′s closet now boasts so many boas, tiaras and sparkly ensembles that sometimes her friends do not recognise her on the street. She still resides, (that′s a fancy word for lives) in New York City with her family and their canine companion, Arrow. Robin Preiss Glasser actually wore tiaras and tutus when she danced with the Pennsylvania Ballet for eleven years. Now she happily spends her days in jeans and glasses, drawing such bestsellers as Fancy Nancy.

Robin Preiss Glasser is the number one New York Times bestselling illustrator of the Fancy Nancy series, written by Jane O'Connor; America: A Patriotic Primer, A is for Abigail, and Our Fifty States by Lynne Cheney and most recently Tea for Ruby by Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. She lives in Southern California with her family.
