Perhaps it's something as simple as the heat in Florida and you just need to acclimatise. <br /><br />Nymeth: nice that someone else has read that Kipling as it seems to be fairly unknown.<br /><br />Jeane: I think I'm right in saying that Kipling's idea for Puck of Pook's Hill was a kind of history lesson for children. Two children meet an elf type character who transports them back in time to various important events in history. The book is set in the Sussex Weald and there's a very strong sense of place. I have three copies of the book - not sure how that happened. The sequel, Rewards and Fairies, is good too.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-80067458589182583302009-06-12T22:08:25.794+01:002009-06-12T22:08:25.794+01:00You've got a lot of good ones here I've lo...You've got a lot of good ones here I've loved, too!

I think I could have done this meme ten ...Hi Susan! I think I could have done this meme ten times over and come up with different books every time. This time though I decided to stick to books I'd read when I was much younger. And now that I've done it I'm finding my list fascinating because, as you said, so many of them are children's books. Yes, it only goes to show how important it is to read to children and to make sure they have access to books.<br /><br />Hey Pat! I think I meant Dragonflight, not Dragonquest, but hey, they're both fantastic... and The White Dragon, which is my favourite of the three, but I read that one much later than the others so didn't include it. Are you going to post a list?Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-2713771191690251402009-06-12T16:02:05.070+01:002009-06-12T16:02:05.070+01:00(same same but I hit LJ first lol)
