Another few books I'd recommend are The Ghosts by Antonia Barber, Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce, and Moonfleet by J. Meade Falkner. All so-called 'kids books', but all that really means is they have no sex or swearing. <br /><br />******<br /><br />That's one ride I wouldn't mind taking, PS - just so long as I could avoid the final destination. I really like Disney's Wind In The Willows/Mr. Toad cartoon. Saw it as an 11 year old on the last day of primary school before the summer holidays. Now got it on DVD and video. It was originally released as the second half of a cartoon which included The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow, and as a separate cartoon in its own right.

I admit it was one of favorite rides and I still love it, because at the end Toad ends up in hell. Who says Disney always has happy endings?Phil Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-26044842826218677332017-02-02T23:52:06.465+00:002017-02-02T23:52:06.465+00:00I bought The Wind In The Willows for Christmas (pa...I bought The Wind In The Willows for Christmas (partly due to all the posts you've written about it) but have not gotten round to starting it yet. Over the past year I've been reading some "Classics" as a change from my usual fare; The Thirty-Nine Steps, Wuthering Heights, A Study In Scarlet, The Inheritors, Through The Looking Glass, The Midwich Cuckoos, The Time Machine, A Christmas Carol to name but a few.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04397737997079715639noreply@blogger.com
