After a six-year hiatus, I return with my sporadic post covering all manner of things I’ve recently read, watched and done with my days. However, this time it is less an inflexible, orderly list than a selection of variegated observations. For now, at least.
Children’s Fiction
Moominsummer Madness by Tove Jansson #ToveTrove
My first Janssonian contribution to the Tove Trove Library is the fifth book in the Moomin series, first published in 1954.
The World of Moominvalley #ToveTrove
The World of Moominvalley is simply the ultimate guide for any Moomin fan, old or new.
THE CLASSICS CLUB: The Wind in the Willows
I share my thoughts on one of the most adored children’s novels of all time.
REREADING: Matilda by Roald Dahl
Reading the original, magical story after thirty years before sampling a collectors edition with a brand new cover from Quentin Blake.
THOUGHTS ON: Grimm’s Fairy Stories
Taken from the East European oral tradition, these stories were originally collated and published in Germany by the Brothers Grimm.
