Welcome to Litsy!

Perfect NYE reading.

I read the second two of these as a child, but never the first one, so @TrishB found me a copy a couple of years back (thank you Trish!). A big, happy, resourceful 1930s working-class family (7 children, Mum‘s a washerwoman, Dad‘s a dustman) who get up to adventures, worry about money (and the police/sanitary inspector being called) and are prone to big Ideas. Still a delight. And I need to track down Garnett‘s biography now.

#GratefulHarvest #Family
One from my daughter‘s shelves, but I haven‘t read it.
A story of the Ruggles, a working class family‘s everyday life in a small English town.

#TheEnd . Just the one.

I know I‘ve been an intermittent joiner-inner this month, but I‘ve really enjoyed discovering #soaringscores soundtracks- thank you @CrowCAH @Cinfhen

2/2 The rest of my birthday bookmail - 💕💕💕

@kathedron 🌿🌱Thank you -this sounds amazing ! Hoping to find more woodland walks this year myself as well. I‘m sure I know of Sara Maitland from something else... Going to enjoy investigating 🌳

@Cathythoughts 💝 No, I hadn‘t got my hands on this yet. I loved Wolf Border, and there‘s been a serious lack of short stories in my life recently- Thank you 😊

Found this on a colleague's clearout pile! Isn't the cover cute? Is it any good? #childrens #kids #puffin

Last Saturday was our National Children's Day in Thailand. To celebrate the day I picked up this book to reread. It's my most favorite book when I was a kid. Almost 30 years have passed and it's still lovely and not boring at all :)
