I'm sorry to hear it, and glad to hear more of Miss Bruns, whose bosom I recall from a comments of yours, and you're right: our highs and lows fall within so narrow a range, and we have to give them their own importance.Misehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784548726623938608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-26455605529135404272010-08-10T05:27:22.227+10:002010-08-10T05:27:22.227+10:00What a lovely thing, to find a copy of 'The Se...What a lovely thing, to find a copy of 'The Secret Garden' from your old teacher...its a really magical book.

Reminds me of The Magician's Nephew, the first in the Narnia series, such a sad and poignant book but we focus on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and forget all about the beginning.

I always thought it was because I had the tv series on VHS (!) all except the first episode which got wiped.

I actually don't remember the first chapter either and, I think that I always used to block out any of the sad parts. I loved it when they found the door and the key !!<br />A very poignant observation, Jane and one we must remember.
