Ding Dong Merrily on High




Christmas seems to be a recurring theme in films. My favourite Christmas film of all times is rerun almost every year, but I never tire of watching it:

And Charlie, don’t forget about what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he wanted.

I have always enjoyed reading children’s literature. I love the stories, and I admire adults who write for children and are able to look at life from a child’s perspective.

Here are some examples of books for children in English:

What children’s story do you find special?
