Hi Dryad

I never got along with the Chronicals of Narnia, But then my Dad's fave book was the lord of the rings - the big edition with all 3 books in it and he read it to us at least once a year as far back as I can remember and I read it myself as soon as I was able, so I guess it became the benchmark by which all else was judged. I always had loads of books ranging from the famous five to Biggles and beyond! But Lord of the Rings will always be my fave. It does mean that I am completely unable to read chic lit - when you are raised on boys own adventures it's a bit hard to swallow! I hope you have a very happy new year to
