Wonderful that Montmorency is now free to go wherever he pleases. As you know, I think they're wonderful books. And I know exactly what you mean about 'family books' and I enthusiastically champion your cause.Dennis Hamleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781139870037634374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-25495131713251740642015-01-31T20:00:53.501+00:002015-01-31T20:00:53.501+00:00Hi Ellie!

And three cheers for Montmorency who we enjoyed, all those years ago - as a family.<br />julia joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773900100240758504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-58848533507023625502015-01-31T12:01:34.541+00:002015-01-31T12:01:34.541+00:00Gap year! Yes, that is about the measure of it ......Gap year! Yes, that is about the measure of it ... :-) <br />Like the idea of the Family Book too. We had some of those when I was growing up - To Kill a Mockingbird, The Hobbit, Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion, Don Camillo, TH White ... although never labelled as such, they had a reading age from me at 8/9 years old up through my sisters to my parents. When I was a kid the librarian scowled at me for daring to raid the adult section (I'd read my way through everything in the junior section) and tried to herd me back to the 'more appropriate' books ... and now I'm an adult I get stared at when I dare to look round the children's section for the new titles ... S'not fair. Why shouldn't I enjoy kid's books without being censured for it? There are a lot of very fine ones out there!madwippitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595748471651052552noreply@blogger.com
