I hear you on Horrid Henry, my girls devoured them when they were little. Cleverly written, but a bit samey after a while!Vintage Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971819409379613967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6895110117460225757.post-3656959050720055612011-05-04T15:12:40.482+01:002011-05-04T15:12:40.482+01:00Annie - Lucy M Boston's house is open to the p...Annie - Lucy M Boston's house is open to the public, I'd love to visit it. You should take Toseland Bear there. We've nothing named after a character in a book, though Billy's goldfish are named Barry and Paul after The Chuckle Brothers. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books with him. There are so many books I want to get through with him before he thinks he's too old to be read to.seagreen readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110080707348277166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6895110117460225757.post-20393406878898605312011-05-04T08:26:16.357+01:002011-05-04T08:26:16.357+01:00'The Children of Green Knowe' followed by ...'The Children of Green Knowe' followed by 'The Secret Garden' - my goodness but Billy is getting some quality reading there. I love the Lucy M Boston books. Indeed we have a Bear in the house called Toseland Bear precisely because I love the books so much. (He is never shortened to Tolly, by the way. I don't know why this is because he isn't the sort of Bear who stands on his dignity, quite the opposite in fact. He is simply a Toseland and not a Tolly. And yes, before you ask, we are all completely mad in this house, although we prefer the word eccentric.) My favourite of the Green Knowe books if 'Stranger at Green Knowe'. I think it's the third. It asks some very searching questions about the way in which we treat 'others'.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966461711132186974noreply@blogger.com
