Now I picture you with Christopher Robin and Tigger by your side wherever you are! and I love the juxtaposition of Gerald Manly Hopkins to that! <br /><br />Very interesting story about your stepbrother, that must have been a shock to see the book there, considering it was stolen, and a little sad that you couldn't afford to buy it back. A lovely story about how your brother got named, though. And I have no idea to the book!<br /><br />Hope you're feeling better, we have a cold making the rounds here too in Ottawa.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-3756715726598866312009-11-02T18:25:21.658+00:002009-11-02T18:25:21.658+00:00I'll give you a clue: a favourite author of mi...I'll give you a clue: a favourite author of mine, a bit of an acquired taste, who is perhaps less popular now, but has a very loyal following, and the character he was named after is eponymous (although the stolen book wasn't the famous title, so it was just a coincidence, really; if it had been a copy of the book he was named after, I dread to think what it would have been worth - I was staggered by the price being asked for this book).Jodie Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442935205880334932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-75568038058144390272009-11-02T14:51:44.942+00:002009-11-02T14:51:44.942+00:00I'm wracking mine too!I'm wracking mine too!Jane Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628233623713926723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-55284093109190116322009-11-02T09:58:53.580+00:002009-11-02T09:58:53.580+00:00What an unusual story about the book dedicated to ...What an unusual story about the book dedicated to your stepbrother - of course I am wracking my brains, trying to work out which book it could be!StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-25368075435037862652009-11-02T07:26:58.225+00:002009-11-02T07:26:58.225+00:00Books are more than their contents.

What a shame about that book you didn't buy and you couldn't prove had been stolen from your stepbother!BooksPleasehttp://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.com
