OVERVIEW: Clover
Dec. 23rd, 2008 08:29 amI was hoping to post my review of the film Inkheart, but it requires a bit more work than I have time for, and it may be a while in coming. Meanwhile, I bought four books yesterday (two Brazils, one of which I may own already, a Geoffrey Trease and a family book from a writer I didn't know of before. This was after picking up Clover by Susan Coolidge over the weekend. Say what you like about Oxfam's charity books shops, I do find my sort of books there.
I repeat, I bought Clover. I'm not sure how well known this fact is, but Susan Coolidge wrote a lot of sequels to her famous 'What Katy Did'. For years, I laboured under the misapprehension that it was a trilogy, and then, one day, I found 'In The High Valley' and discovered I was wrong.
The titles are: What Katy Did, What Katy Did At School, What Katy Did Next, Clover, In The High Valley.
As Katy grows up, the focus shifts to the younger Carrs. If nothing else, I will be rereading ITHV over Christmas.
Anyway,( Read more... )
As I won't be posting again before then, A merry and peaceful Christmas to you all. I hope you get a chance to curl up with a good book!
