Favourite authors - Ye Olde England series

It's said that Indians still have a British hangover (since India was a British colony for 150 years). But I prefer to attribute my love for authors that capture quintessential English life to the perfection of their writing and their ability to create an (unreal but very entertaining) world that relaxes, charms and never fails to move me. Give it a try and you'll see what I mean.
Okay, here goes:

Enid Blyton - because the first book I ever read on my own was from the Noddy series.

Agatha Christie - because no one combines murder and the English way of life with such aplomb. If you'd rather watch this combination distilled into a movie, see Gosford Park.

Miss Read - now how can you resist an author with a name like that? I would just like to live in Thrush Green in a thatched cottage all my days.

Georgette Heyer - read about how an endless succession of spirited young women find love in Georgian England. If you haven't opened a dictionary after reading a few paragraphs, mail me immediately, because I want to meet you.

These are my comfort reads -- whenever I'm sick, low, in need of cheering up or just exasperated by the rapid pace of life today.
