A very good read. It made me realise how lucky we are to live in this day and age, even it doesn't seem so sometimes.

I never knew this book existed until very recently as it has not been translated into French and read all the French translations as a child.
It is targeted towards a younger audience, which means you can enjoy a lot more of Blake's illustrations!

I am rereading a lot of Roald Dahl's novels as I recently got a box set of 15 of his novels (for £20 instead of 98.85!!). I just love them all so much.

52. George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl (~)
53. The Witches by Roald Dahl (~)

55. Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl (~)
56. The Giraffe And The Pelly And Me by Roald Dahl (~)
57. What Was She Thinking? Notes on a Scandal by Zoë Heller (*)
58. The Storyteller's Granddaughter by Margaret Redfern (*)
59. Tamara Drewe by Posy Simmonds (*)
60. Ethel and Ernest by Raymond Briggs (*)
61. Barefoot Gen, Volume One: A Cartoon Story of Hiroshima by Keiji Nakazawa (*)
I got a few graphic novels for July from my library, but I couldn't resist reading them for another three days, so I had to get started on them... Oh, well!

Currently reading Tess of the D'Urbervilles
