Well, I am not sure how to just add on to a finished blog….but this is a continuation of the blog I wrote this morning. I had got up to no41…Doctor Doolittle is on the list of books that I need to acquire. Here is the rest of that list…Jane Eyre, Tess of the D Iberville, The Invisible Man, The Mystery of the disappearing cat, Ivanhoe, The Last of the Mohicans and The Children of the New Forest.

I have been at the Cancer Research shop I volunteer and came home with 8 “new” classics. Sherlock Holmes, The BFG, What Katy Did, The Wind in the Willows, another copy of Tom Browns Schooldays and two adult classics…..Diary of Anne Frank and The Day of The Triffids.

As well to children I have stepped into the adult section and have started another list. I have the two that I mention above. The other two I have are To Kill a Mockingbird and Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. The ones on the “to get” list is.

This book is (without permission )dedicated by the author who owns more than he can nearly acknowledge or forget to her and her.
