Well, here it is, Labor Day. I completed 13 of my #14Books14Weeks2021 stack, having skipped The Children of the New Forest. I‘ll get to it, eventually, I do want to read it, but it just keeps getting bumped. I read tons of other books this summer, though! Thanks for hosting @TheHeartlandBookFairy - always a good challenge.
I‘m behind on my buddy read, but hope to finish it the weekend so I can start the next one.
Great quote!

pickThis took me a bit to get into then it was engrossing. The language reminded me of all the Shakespeare about Richard III books I read this month. I‘m not sure kids would enjoy it in todays school setting but I can see it as a read aloud with great discussion. This is considered a living book in classical learning curriculum. I enjoyed the read!

#CHILDRENSCLASSICREAD2021 June
I am enjoying this very much with my morning coffee, it‘s really not what I thought it‘d be, in a good way, it‘s like a hidden gem.
pickI read this book for the first time. But surprisingly the story felt familiar to me. As I progress I remembered reading the translated version of this book as a kid. I read it in my mother tongue Kannada language ( one of the Indian languages ) It used to be my father‘s text book during his school days 😛 oh I felt thrilled ! I am happy to read the same book now. Thank you very much @TheBookHippie for #childrensclassicread2021

YA books have come a long way since this book was written!
One fun part:
I‘m enjoying when the narrator gives us background info, and then says, ‘ Now let‘s get back to the story‘!
I have always liked it when narrators talk to me!

@TheBookHippie
Coffee dripping in the pour over this book on tap to start today, it‘s JUNE!
Hoping this is a good one.
The Children of the New Forest was one of the first historical novels written for a young audience, and the first such novel which has endured.It was particularly successful in fixing the image of the English Civil War as a quarrel of opposites, with dour Roundheads versus swashbuckling Cavaliers.

JUNE #CHILDRENSCLASSICREAD2021
“This is the first enduring historical novel for children, which conjures up as much magic today as it did on first publication.”
That‘s what made me pick this read! I can‘t wait to see what it‘s like. Adventure awaits for June coffee mornings 🤞🏻
I found this is free for kindle unlimited or 99 cents here in the US. I also found it on hoopla. I ordered a used copy that should arrive soon.
Everyone welcome!
