Hi Dryad
I have always loved reading but like you wasn't introduced to CS Lewis but I made sure my grandson was.
My maternal grandma used to buy me books (some ordered from a newspaper and I have one of these still in it's cardboard box)
she also bought me Milly, Molly, Mandy and a lovely book called Donkeys Glory. I still have these.
I have enjoyed the book club so much and am looking forward to more reading with you all in 2009
Happy New Year to you all
Ginnie
