Under milkwood!! That takes me back down memory lane😊. I taught french in the north of England when I was young and when I left to go back to France, the pupils offered me a copy of that play as well as a wonderful book from Ted hughes with his poems and blavk and white photos...Remains of Helmet....I then learnt that it has now become a rare book. I also got a copy of Thomas hardy ’s poems with gorgeous water colour paintings....Such treasures! As soon as I got the play from Dylan Thomas I bought the audio version ! Thank you so much for this video !

This was fantastic. Not gonna lie, I was checking KZbin every day so I wouldn't miss this video. I was so looking forward to it! 🙂 I just love hearing you talk about books. I was able to guess some of the books on your list, which was really fun. I definitely don't mind you talking about books repeatedly as you mentioned at the end. I find it immensely inspiring to hear you talk about same books in different contexts and especially, when you include little tidbits from your life from the time you read them. It's just fascinating to me. You have an amazing taste in books, and the mystic in you always make themselves known in the way you talk about them, which is just so dear to me. Thank you for making the videos and sharing your reading life. I greatly appreciate it... 🙂

As a former dog owner, I easily understand your love of dogs. Today Oct 4th is declared ANIMAL DAY. So, don’t forget to offer Tilly a special treat ❣️ This celebration is inspired by St-Francis of ASISSI. Today being his birthday and, as we all know, he was a great care giver to all animals and a great environmentalist. Thank you for another interesting video which made me think about my own 10 great books.

Arthur Rackham is my favorite illustrator too. He was wonderful and magical. What a world he created...

When I read to my kids when they were young, I would do all characters "voices". My daughter's teacher told me that when she read aloud in class, she would also do all the different voices. Made my heart happy.❤

Loved it so much! Great choices. I loved The Lionthe Witch and the Wardrobe too, reading them as an adult. I also dearly loved 101 Dalmatians, my mother read it as it was serially done in a ladies magazine, called at that time, The Great Dog Robbery. Oh so exciting!, 😊

I've been loving your videos for some time. This one was exceptionally enjoyable: the mix of books and your life made for a delightful listen. THANK YOU! I discovered Pooh when I was 64. I read it to myself before going to bed and it put me in such a peaceful, chuckling state of mind before sleep. I don't know how I missed it as a kid, but I discovered I wasn't "too old," not at all, to appreciate every story.

You're never too old for Pooh!🙂

I’m always interested in learning about writers on books. I read the translation of Gone with the wind at about the same age as you, and at about the same pace, and had to see the film with Vivien Leigh, which was shown in two parts in my provincial town, it was so long. I wish I could still bury myself in books the way I did growing up… I remember zooming through family sagas and series, but there were less distractions then.

I know what you mean - I could read for long periods at a time as a child, but nowadays it's difficult to read more than a few pages at a sitting!

"We'll have to take provisions," said Pooh. "Take what?" said Piglet. " Food, " said Pooh. "Oh," said Piglet. " I thought you said 'Provisions.'"

It was wonderful to hear your stories about your life and the books that impacted you. Thank you for sharing 😊

Magical, hearing about all the books that made you, I remember starting The source when I was about 17, but abandoned it because I thought it was too long. Recently though I read it and absolutely loved it, now I have read Poland, Caribbean and now reading Space. Michener is a great story teller.

What a "delicious" video! Took me back as well. Thank you so very much.

@linbourne8731 Ай бұрын

A very interesting and enjoyable episode. Included some books/authors I was aware of but not read like Under Milkwood which from the extract you read sounds really good. May discover new (to me) 'classics' later in life!

Hi there, such an interesting books you’ve read during your childhood. Sadly, I didn’t read much when I was a child, but I remembered the first book that got me into reading and literature are Danielle Steel, Sherlock Holmes The Study in Scarlet and Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre. I really adore Gone with The Wind, and I’m thinking of re-reading it. Thank you so much for sharing your interests in books and I’m hoping for more from you soon. ❤❤❤😊

You reminded me of reading Mrs Pepperpot, Catweazel, The Borrowers and a whole lot more! Then every horror story I could get my hands on, so many influences ❤

❤❤❤ Fantastic one thank you. My 2x always LOTR - always by my bedside and Midsommer Nights Dream 💕💕💕 I adore them always and I think that's why I've always been an "absent" child turned "absent" adult but who wants to deal with the real world when I could rather have breakfasts with Hobbits and dance by the moonlight on midsommer. Big HUG for Tillie as always and thank you for this wonderful journey ❤❤❤❤

When asked about her relationship with her husband William Blake his wife Catherine replied that she had very little of his company because he was always too busy communing with the angels!

Wonderful! Thank you so much, Rosamunde. BTW, did you know Winnie-the-Pooh was born on 14 October? 💐 Carol

As a child, did you know Wind in the Willows or Alice's Adventures in Wonderland! ❤ ❤

@booksfrommybookshelf Ай бұрын

Oh yes indeed! In fact, my copy of Wind in the Willows also had Arthur Rackham illustrations. Not sure why I didn't include this, but it definitely should have had at least an honourable mention! Loved Alice in Wonderland too.
