FIDDLE DEE DEE RECIPES: A TASTE OF “GONE WITH THE WIND”
"Wonderful book! I’m absolutely fascinated by the running background commentary. Now, I’m going to have to pull out my old copy of GWTW and watch it again! The book is incredibly written, beautifully designed and laid out and the photos and graphics are terrific! I have a friend (and client) here that owns a book store. I’m sure she would really like to see it If that’s ok?" ~W. Williams, Owner, WFCT 105.5 The Coast, Point St. Joe, Florida
"My cookbook and picture came, Terry Lynn Crane! Thank you and thank you for writing on the back of the picture and autographing the book. It's so beautiful on every page! I can't wait to read it and also try some of the recipes. It actually came yesterday afternoon and I didn't know until my son brought it in. That was very quick!! You're on top of things! My husband just got in from work and I showed him. He looked through it and said it's a nice keepsake. I can tell a lot of heart and work went into it. I wish I could show everyone all of the pages. They'll just have to buy their own if they want to see. 😊" P. Boulware, West Columbia, South Carolina

"Finally had a chance to open my copy of Fiddle Dee Dee Recipes: A Taste of “Gone With the Wind”, a new book by Terry Lynn Crane. Terry was married to Fred Crane, who played Brent Tarleton in the movie and, for a number of years, the two owned Tarleton Oaks Bed and Breakfast in Georgia. I spent a very nice evening paging through the book, reading Terry’s GWTW reminisces and enjoying her artwork. Terry, your book is utterly charming. Reading it feels like paging through a beloved scrapbook and I can’t wait to plan a themed GWTW dinner or tea using the book's recipes. It is obvious that this was a real labor of love, and what a beautiful tribute to GWTW. Congratulations, Terry! Enjoy all your upcoming book signings." K. Witt, Kentucky (Author)
