And they lived happily ever after…

If there is one thing I love more than anything, and will capture both my heart and imagination, it will always be children’s fiction. The characters I first met in my own childhood have a way of uplifting me and deep down remind me of who I am.



I could sit reading these stories for years to come. It seems the older I get, the fonder I become. The lure of such beautiful and quirky illustrations comes hand in hand with the whimsical tales of fun and adventure to last a lifetime long. And go on to enchant future generations alike.

These are a few I picked up recently on my second-hand travels, to add to the already plentiful bookcase. But that’s the beauty with books, you simply can never have too many.

    Whenever the boy and I go into book shops we always spend ages looking at the children's books. Not that was have children, we just like childrens stories!

    I remember at school being told that the hardest book to write is a children's book. Having to think about morals, the language and the imagination and illustration.

    I love Mog :)
