A MAGICAL WORLD

​

Here are some of the books I read, that also form part of the inspiration for 'The Secrets of London'. 

​

I loved the ‘Paddington’ books.  Mr Toad was great fun in ‘The Wind in the Willows’.  He was always getting into trouble, but it didn't stop or discourage him.

​

‘Don Quixote’ was the same, in a children's version. However things turned out, he continued on his adventures with hope and innocence.

​

I enjoyed the cheek of the White Rabbit, in 'Alice and the White Rabbit, Their Trips About London'.  'Bill Badger and the Pirates’ was another favourite. It’s a story about friendship and loyalty, where good wins out in the end.

​

You can see from the front covers of some of these books, that I read them several times.
