A very enjoyable and interesting story that needs to be told. -- David Forsyth, Clear Creek County Historian A well-researched and detailed biography of Pulitzer Prize-winner Mary Chase. Her beloved play, Harvey, written in 1944, is still being produced today in theatres around the world. -- Joanna H. Kraus, playwright, Professor Emerita, State University of New York A charming, intimate portrait of Denver playwright Mary Coyle Chase... weaves history into the narrative to give the necessary perspective on the era in which Chase's blockbuster Harvey was written and further explores far beyond the Harvey narrative in detailed explanation of the totality of Chase's work including her extensive efforts with children's plays. -- Cle Cervi Symons, publisher of the Cervi Journal
