He was fearless and fiercely loyal. He saw me off to school in the morning at the bus stop and was waiting for me when I got home.<br />Book 2 is called 'Bus Stop'GSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903412564467078538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421822117996903245.post-88995100795374564882016-04-21T04:53:36.901-07:002016-04-21T04:53:36.901-07:00I'm in love with Bandit, dear GSL!

I have been manically on the go so just accessed this charming site you reference and discovered that Nobel Laureate Doris Lessing says that Feminists hysterically misread (imagine that!) her book 'The Golden Notebook' and she became a Feminist Icon but I see the tidbit you reference is from yesterday and concerned my idol Dr Johnson. I'll never tire of hearing of Dr Johnson and reading what you have to share my dear Rachel.GSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903412564467078538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421822117996903245.post-79124384272965001892016-04-15T12:16:45.817-07:002016-04-15T12:16:45.817-07:00HA!!

Just thinking about Tonstant Weader kindled a yen to read the whole story again, and first GOOGLE took me to "Today in Literature," in which THIS:<br /><br />http://www.todayinliterature.com/index.asp<br /><br />was the lead for today.

I'm so glad you shared it in full Technicolor, and glad that you're enjoying such a family treasure in your home every day.<br /><br />The memorable people of our pasts---the special grandparents, the neighbors who just took time, the teacher who imparted a love of literature or history---those are forever candles in any dark we can encounter. I love this story, and your Tonstant Weaders will love it, too, I betcha.<br /><br />rrrrrrRachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421822117996903245.post-8172978497010754102016-04-15T05:24:45.402-07:002016-04-15T05:24:45.402-07:00Thank you Naomi.
