Thanks for the reminder, Trish! We have the first one and I forgot to
put it on my "books to read" document. I didn't realize it's a
series...must ask the bibliographer who orders children's books to
check into that!

I can thoroughly recommend any of Terry Pratchett's "discworld" books,
just suspend disbelief and enjoy the humour. Here's a guide to the

I second Bruce on the Discworld books. They have all kinds of humour from
fairly sophisticated parody to really awful puns. The World is richly
populated with fascinating creatures, and definitely fun to visit.

I've added these to my list. So many books, so little time`````````

This has me thinking that I should climb up and take down my very, very old
copies of the Red,Yellow & Blue Fairy books and read them again. I do that
every few years, first to dust the pages and second because I love them.

I use those three and my cherished copies of Little Women and Black Beuaty
for decoration. They've been with me since I was very little and they have
stayed reasonably okay so they must know they're loved.

Oh, I loved those books soooo much when I was a little girl; I always had
one or another out from the library. Now I will have to go online and see
if I can find them. I also loved Hans Christian Andersen, especially The
Snow Queen, and Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince, which is another story that
brings tears to my eyes every time.
