Ob hier irgendjemand das Buch gelesen hat?

Der ganze Inhalt hier zeigt das Buch in einem ganz falschen Licht, stellt Ereignisse in falscher Reihenfolge dar. Legt falsche Schwerpunkte.

Heute habe ich »Anderland« gelesen, von #JoanAiken. Ein wundervoller Roman.

Ich mag Ihren Stil und die Art wie sie Geschichten webt sehr.

The thrill of seeing a book you’ve published, on shelves in a favourite bookshop, never ceases to make an indie publisher smile! Thank you @waterstones.bsky.social

Re-reading some of my favorite childhood books. The Wolves of Willoughby Chase is a classic and I enjoy it as much at 62 as I did at...however old I was when I first read it. And check out the cover by Edward Gorey!
