@PhilipArdagh The Magician's Nephew always - the Wood Between the Worlds blew my nine year old mind...my tummy lurched with theirs when they realised they nearly didn't mark which pool led back to our world...and the crumbling of an old world is described so vividly. Proper sci-fi!

My mother taught me to read but, every Saturday morning, my father would read me a chapter of a Narnia book which made them all the more special. My father's long gone now but I still have the books and the memories. I think my favourite is The Silver Chair. Which is yours?

Anti-Bullying Week is right around the corner, and this year’s theme is “Choose Respect” 🫡 When disputes arise among children, insults and rudeness can sometimes follow 🤬 and it’s vital for us to show them a better way.
