I don't mind if they stay on 'my' shelf for ever! I am lucky because lots of books come to me – I get phone calls and emails all the time asking me to buy books. Often they are not my kind of thing but just now and then someone arrives with a box of wonderful books that make my heart sing!<br />Thanks for your kind words about the first ‘photo. I am pretty pleased with it myself!I must have taken it about 15 times from 10 different angles to get it close to being what I wanted. There are still odd shadows and things that have no business being there, but it looks pretty and that’s what I was trying to achieve.<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-50815007204777914032013-03-27T00:20:57.640+00:002013-03-27T00:20:57.640+00:00Blimey Barbara those books are seriously wonderful...Blimey Barbara those books are seriously wonderful!!!!!!<br /><br />I've also never heard of him before.

I think the story ‘sticks’ in some dark recess of the mind but the illustrations stay printed on the forefront of the brain.barbaraannefishernoreply@blogger.com
