What beautiful imagery of the owls! I think most people have a soft spot for them. For myself, it was always horses when I was a child. Even now, when I think of/consider art, I think it would be horses that I would try to draw/paint/sculpt. Everything about them appeals: their power, their grace, their speed, their beauty. Really, I don't think there is such a thing as an ugly horse.
I love that this book was so pivotal for you. I'm sure the author would have beamed with pride had she known.
My own favourites were the Pookie (the rabbit with wings) series by Ivy Wallace. Made me realise right then that I needed to live in the woods with the woodland animals. I read them only as library books, but have a small collection of special ones now.
What a sweet story and memory from childhood! I used to love nature and animal books as well, especially picture books! I think Pippi Longstocking has to be my favorite. I always wanted to be like her and tbh , I think I am now 😅 her confidence, carefree attitude and unique character really inspired me!
great ponderings - lion witch and the wardrobe - gave me the power to be curious, optimistic and believe in possibility - that behind every wardrobe door is a magical new world!

I love The Cleveland Bay. So elegant.

Oh I haven't heard of this one. It sounds fascinating. Living in woodlands sound the ideal life. Off to do some research. 👏❤️

I haven't read this book, she seems quite a strong character.

Oh I loved that story too, I would love to have visited Narnia. I felt so sorry for Mr Tumnus.
