Over the sultry enervating southern summer, I read heaps of short children's books. Most of the adult works I read were short as well; novellas, plays & poetry, with only a smattering of thick classics. The challenge includes tributes to Margaret Wise Brown, Tim Winton and Ludwig Bemelmans.
Favourites: The Stepford Wives, The Flowers of Evil, Falling Up, Signs of Life, Madeline series, The Mezzanine, Peer Gynt, The Penelopiad, The Rape of the Lock, Solutions & Other Problems, Who Will Run the Frog Hospital?, Men Without Women.
