Sophie Masson asked me to contribute to her blog Feathers of the Firebird and share my 'five favourite' books from childhood. What a difficult choice to make! It was great to revisit this liberating world, where as a child you can read, absorb, escape, wonder and imagine to your heart's content. Interesting to see how the illustrations were so much a part of why I loved these books, and still do!
I still love this book and the charming illustrations.
