"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” *-C.S. Lewis*

When I was a little girl, I read every type of fairy book I could. I fantasized about being a fairy and living in a large hollowed out tree with a spiral staircase! I am 74, and still love stories about fairies and folklore. I love the idea of mermaids and love the beach also!

Books have always been among my best friends. They have taught me so much over seven decades. They were always there to prop me up during many very difficult times. They have made me laugh and cry. They have taken my mind off my worries. They were there when I was homesick in the Navy. They were there after everyone had left---loss of love, divorce, and loss of my son. From their bookshelves, they stand guard even as I sleep.

I must comment when you mentioned how books 📚 have been your constant companions all your life… I learned as a child the type of person I wouldn’t become because of what I observed, how unkind people can be, and this microcosm of existence must be escaped! Books offered me the opportunity to learn of distant lands, champions of the human spirit and autobiographies of people who DID change the world ❤ We grew up in similar time periods… I just wanted to reach out to you to say you have a kindred spirit in this community Paola has created! I suspect we all share more similarities than differences 🌎

Books were also companions for me as a child; and, yes, they are still companions to me even now. I learned so much about one's character and growth - basically, who I aspired to be as I got older. I traveled to different lands and became immersed in different life paths and backgrounds. Books are timeless.

@@donnawatson845 Thank you, Donna. Thank God for books when Josh passed in 2014. (36 y/o only child) His Maine Coon cat was a comfort for the next seven years. Willy 'left to play with Josh' on 3/6/21. What a cat! I would lie on my bed reading. (Willy was rather needy and chose me as his therapy person.) As I read, he would shove his head under my book. Then he would try to suck on my neck. When you're single, you probably wouldn't want cat hickeys on your neck. (Married guys probably wouldn't care. HI!) I went to the shelter for many months after Willy "escaped'. One day a volunteer asked, "Didn't you find a forever friend yet?" I pouted and said, "No one picked me yet..." Nighty-night, Donna.

@@rrhines3151 This site provides a nice escape from day-to-day concerns. Many interesting people in our 'new neighborhood'. Each day I visit 'my coffee shop' in Bay City, Mi. I like to read while enjoying a cup of black coffee. The young employees often tease me about my am/fm/cassette radio with earbuds, a pad of paper, a good eraser, and a dictionary. I've never owned a cellphone. Since 2014, I've read hundreds of books and the young people have filled a huge void after I lost my son, Josh. For Christmas, the girls gave me eight gift-wrapped books to read. Another girl left last week to get married so I had to send another 'daughter' out into the world. In the seventies, I read a lot of Thoreau, R. W. Emerson, Kahlil Gibran, and many of his books. Later Edison, Einstein, Nikola Tesla, James Allen, Wallace Wattles, Charles Haanel, and Walter Russell. Many thought Russell was the smartest man in the world. Einstein did. He discovered and built so many things. He excelled in all the arts. Painter, sculptor, horse breeder, architect, and musician. He brought figure skating to America. He left school at the age of ten. He said it was the best thing he ever did. He gave piano lessons at the age of ten to earn money. He never had lessons. He said 'Everything came from above.' According to the Myers-Briggs test, I am an INFP. Interesting and it seems to hold out. Enjoy your evening. Nighty-night!

Thank you for this little video, and I really enjoyed it. I have ordered The Wolf and the Whale book, as I have always felt some sort of link to Inuit folk. I had a Northern Inuit dog for a little while, called Chaska, who was so like a beautiful grey wolf, with blue eyes, and he was the sweetest nature. I have always loved wolves, and I love fairies too! I am 66 year young, and when walking Madge, my black rescue greyhound, I sometimes see those wonderful dragonflies with the blue bodies, and I feel they are fairies, and I always talk to them, and to the butterflies and bees! We need to feed the child within us, and stay forever young, as you do Paola.

I think you love fairies in the way I love dragons. I collect books like Dragonology and illustrated Tolkien books, and I have sketchbooks full of dragons I would draw over and over again when I was younger. Now, I'm trying to write about them, and it makes me so happy 🥰 I also love fairies, because I have an aunt who would give me and my sisters illustrated children's treasuries about fairies and little folk, and I have very fond memories of building fairy houses with her---it's still something I do with my sisters occasionally even though we're all mostly college-age. She would also give us little fairies she made out of wire and embroidery floss, with wooden beads for heads and the faces drawn in minute detail in pen and watercolor. She even sewed tiny dresses and shawls with beautiful beadwork on the hems, and made mine a little copper wire crown. I will always treasure those. I've made a few myself since then; they make delightful gifts. There's a book I found at my local library that shows you how, called Felt Wee Folk by Salley Mavor.

Thank you for the lovely reading suggestions, heading to the library today! I'll make a suggestion of my own - if you haven't read it yet, Grace Lin's book Where the Mountain Meets the Moon is a beautiful, enchanting folktale-style original story, or more accurately, several stories that are woven together mastefully into one incredible tapestry by the end. As a children's librarian for many years, I've read many, many children's "chapter books"; this one ended up supplanting my decades-long reigning favorite, Bridge to Terabithia.

Thank you for your lovely channel and book recommendations! My children absolutely love Heartwood Hotel, we have been reading a chapter each night for bedtime and has become a special addition to their library. ❤

I've read snow and rose but now I'm going to read Anne of Green Gables because I've never read it but always heard it's good.

Hello Paola, thank you for this vidoe. I love your videos about books. I wanted to ask you a very special favor because you are a conservationist and because you have a gigantic audience. You may not be experiencing, as yet, the very high summer temperatures, but most of the northern hemisphere is experiencing super high temperatures from the green house effect that we, humanity, have created over the past 150 or so years. What helps DECREASE the greenhouse effect is trees. Unfortunately, along with factories, we, humans have been cutting trees. Here, in Miami, where I now live, people cut trees out of greed, to build homes and shopping centers, but individual homeowners cut trees as well because they don't want to bother with the maintenance or don't want a hurricane hazard or want a clean yard without ever considering the longterm, global effects of cutting these trees. Trees help us. Trees help the environment. They help cut down on the greehouse effect. They help lower the temperatures. I researched it and confirmed what I already believed. Please, please spend some time researching this yourself and if you find the same answer that I did, please speak up for the trees. You see many people cut down trees simply because they don't know nor realize the tremendous importance that trees play in the health of our planet. So, your video(s) would educate others and help spread the word around. Let's save this planet. Thank you so very much.

I really enjoyed For the Wolf. Very atmospheric, and a retelling of Beauty and the Beast with bits of Little Red Riding Hood.
