She was very patient with my questions, and answered everything with a smile in her voice, and it was great to hear a little more about the world on paper that had fascinated me so much as a child (and an adult!) It's even nicer when you can share something you have enjoyed as a child with your own children. :)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-58781959487504201132008-06-29T14:35:00.000+01:002008-06-29T14:35:00.000+01:00I am watching The Secret Staircase on TV right now...I am watching The Secret Staircase on TV right now with my toddler.
