Annie J. Randall is associate professor of music at Bucknell University.
Rosalind Gray Davis, a former journalist, is an independent scholar based in Carmel, California.
"A rare and engrossing work of scholarship that can be enjoyed on several levels. For the Puccini-lover, to say nothing of one who has a special interest in La Fanciulla del West, it will provide a wealth of information not previously available, particularly all in one place. Anyone interested in the creative process will find it exposed and examined clearly. The scholar will recognize the fascinating chance discovery, the thrill of the chase and the deep rewards of work undertaken lovingly and with rigorous care by the dedicated and passionate co-authors. . . . what Randall and Davis have produced is an eminently readable, ideally direct and information-packed book that's an absorbing study of a great and increasingly popular masterwork."-- "Opera Today" (4/13/2005 12:00:00 AM)
