Off to a good start

 

     "Was your first crush on Dickon instead of Johnny Depp? Do you still get the urge to tap the back of a wardrobe if you find yourself alone in a strange bedroom, or keep half an ear out at midnight for the sound of Hatty in the garden?

    If so, this is the book for you. But then, most books are. You are, like me, a bookworm."

This is the book I am planning to read next -- thank you very much or alerting me to it. Such a surprise after her "My family and other Disasters" which must be one of the funniest books I have ever read (mostly fiction and some fact about an appalling family)

You're welcome, Erika, and thank you for your recommendation - we can always do with a funny book!

I loved this. It brought back all the books I loved in childhood and is funny too. I have the hardback but also have it as an ebook as it is perfect to dip into at times such as waiting for hospital appointments.

Really enjoyed this book and I hope you do to.

[Cornflower]

You're right, Ann, it would be very diverting for hospital waiting and the like.

Enjoying it greatly, Liz.
