I love those little make-believe villages. I used to see more of them years ago, in store windows and such. <br /><br />But not so much anymore. Still, it would be fun to read about.<br /><br />I'm currently beginning to read Miss Read's books set in Thrush Green.<br /><br />Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Nan, to you and your family.<br /><br />Here's to another good year of happy blogging. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-5731799106998735382011-12-21T12:49:32.021-05:002011-12-21T12:49:32.021-05:00Nicola, I expected to reread books this month, but...Nicola, I expected to reread books this month, but instead I've read mostly new-to-me, or just plain new books, and enjoyed them all! <br /><br />Call me madam- the clock, the skating, the ending all reminded me of T's MG. It is different but still very sweet and interesting. I do love time-travel.<br /><br />HKatz, thank you. And it is such a good book. I read it like a kid would, in long sittings.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-9866717798017762252011-12-21T12:08:32.039-05:002011-12-21T12:08:32.039-05:00The need to escape as a child (and let's face ...The need to escape as a child (and let's face it, as an adult) can be powerful.

Still to come are Little Women and the Katy books, along with The Emerald Crown by Violet Needham which I read on Christmas Day (when I can snatch a few moments.) I also have a book of Christmas stories and customs that my mother gave me when I was seven, and I dip into that too. This year I plan to let my 8 yr old granddaughter read it too.Nicola Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03076176253820195827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-19990014909459822332011-12-20T17:01:11.734-05:002011-12-20T17:01:11.734-05:00What a delightful comment, Librarian!

But as it's already been written, there is no need for me to do it; instead, I will try and get this one for myself. It sounds perfect!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.com
