Next switching to a different genre but also European, I was given the original "Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens by my friend Nicole (a first Christmas gift). This book, also rich in history and thought provoking led me to search for another along the same lines. By happenstance, I found a book called the Water Babies in my children's bookcase and thought I might try it out. Can I just tell you that I am reminded IN FULL how much depth and layers of interest and lessons authors from earlier times spun into their stories. Why do I even bother to read current novels EVER?
What is next in my reading repertoire? Harriet Beecher Stowe's The Minister's Wooing, Ralph Waldo Emerson's Self Reliance and many more to come, I'm sure! I would love to hear suggestions if you have any!
