Winnie the Witch: A Feminist Icon?

     I recently treated myself to the collection of Winnie the Witch books, (by the fabulous Valerie Thomas, illustrated by Korky Paul, published by Oxford University Press) because I deserve nice things and there was a sale on. The 10-book collection included At the Seaside, The Flying Carpet, and The Amazing Pumpkin.

'You Can Never Go Back: On Loving Children's Books as an Adult' review

Hello,

Shock-horror, I didn't keep this regular blog-thing up. No one is surprised so let us just swiftly move past it.

So I read an article today, in amongst applying for jobs in publishing/sobbing. Please read it before continuing because I'm gonna talk about it. Go. Come back in five and I shall muse about it. 

A Series of Unfortunate Reviews

Hello Internet,

     I am as surprised as you are that I am writing this post, after resurrecting this dead blog not even twenty-four hours ago, but I have decided to start with a general review of A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, real name Daniel Handler. Published by Egmont in the U.K, but HarperCollin's Children's Books in America.

Proof I own the books. 

This picture took me ten minutes to set up, because of the pesky The Bad Beginning wanting to lay down. 

The Unlikely Return

Hello Internet,

I have graduated and moved back home since my last post - told you I wouldn't keep this up. I've also re-read my past posts and had to edit them because I thought 'i"m' was something that was acceptable in this world, and it most definitely is not. Don't look back to try and find that mistake, I've fixed it.
