It is a pity she began writing so late in life that she only had time for two books!<BR/><BR/>I just introduced my nephew to The Ship That Flew, which he loved.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505400128255860569.post-18475517210924067752008-11-10T11:41:00.000-05:002008-11-10T11:41:00.000-05:00You write very well.You write very well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505400128255860569.post-12654813633234625062007-01-23T16:28:00.000-05:002007-01-23T16:28:00.000-05:00I can't believe I forgot THE PHANTOM TOLLBOTH!

I love this idea. I'd have to add:
Peter ...Dana,<br /><br />I love this idea. I'd have to add:<br /><br />Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie<br />The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (he considered it a juvenile unlike the famous trilogy)<br />The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis (along with the rest of the Narnia books, of course)<br />The Princess Bride by Wm. Goldman<br />A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K LeGuin<br />The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster<br />Pipi Longstocking by by Astrid Lindgren<br /><br />...to name a few. And by the way, as long as we're fantasizing, I'd like them all signed too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17522255840044063116noreply@blogger.com
