Donations

Anyone wanting to donate any unwanted books, I would be happy to receive them.  What I would be looking at doing with them is, sharing them out around local Early Years Centers and Community Centers for people to enjoy.

Plans for 2016

This year I am aim to be overoptimistic and save £100,00.  One of the ways that I am looking at achiving this is by aming to set up my own on line blog about looking into setting up a bussiness in buying and selling antique books and other literacy related items.

The thought came to me, whilts on my way home, whar do people always do?

READ!

So this is my plan for the year.

Wish me luck!

“Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning. ” ― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

“Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning. ” J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

Where is the statue of Peter Pan in London?
The Peter Pan statue is located in Kensington Gardens to the west of the Long Water. The creator of Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie, commissioned Sir George Frampton to build the statue in 1902. It was erected in Kensington Gardens in 1912.
This is why, even though I will always love  Peter Pan; it makes me said too.  This book was gifted to Great Ormand Street Hospital and to day they appear to still get Royalties and this is why.

I use to have a lovely copy of Peter Pan in my childhood, but lost it.  I now have both Peter Pan and Peter Pan in Scarlet (some where)

Why is a Raven is like a writing desk?

Carroll's answer to why a raven is like a writing desk? "Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front!" I'm sure your thighs are now sore from the repeated slapping they took after you read that line.

I love Alice in wounder land and Alice through the looking glass by Lewis Carol.  This is a book from my childhood and one that I still have a copy of today.
