A book reads better which is our own, and has been so long known to us that we know the topography of its blots and dog’s ears, and can trace the dirt in it to having read it at tea with buttered muffins. ~Charles Lamb
Do you have a favorite book that has been with you for years and shows signs of loving? My favorite is Maggie Rose. Have I mentioned that before? Actually, the copy I have is not the same as the one I grew up with, but it looks just the same. The old, pale pink cover, slightly worn on the edges. The sketchy, quirky illustrations. This current copy looks forward to years of loving by my family.
