Welcome to Litsy!

#MarchMadness Day 27: This version of King of the Golden #River is not like the standard picturebooks with its fairly large pages and full-spread illustrations. It‘s a small book in comparison, pocket-size even, illustrated by Juan Wijngaard, born in Argentina of Dutch parents. Illustrator Wijngaard was recipient of the Mother Goose Award and the Kate Greenaway Medal. My review of the book: https://wp.me/pDlzr-6YY

#FallIntoReading Day 21: An #InYourMug moment when the King of the Golden River reappeared as main character‘s favourite golden mug was melted as part of their new trade. Since the act of melting the mug has essentially freed the King of the Golden River from an enchantment, he gave Gluck a very interesting quest. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-6YY

A tale of three brothers, 2 wicked and selfish, 1 giving and compassionate and what happens to them as a result of their actions.

I‘m really happy @Sarah83 started this classics challenge this year. I‘ve read 14 classics I hadn‘t read before. I read this one on Serial Reader. #LitsyClassics

Another big thank you to the @SerialReader app for bringing so many great classic stories into my life.

There is no wealth but life. Life, including all its powers of love, of joy, and of admiration. That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest numbers of noble and happy human beings; that man is richest, who, having perfected the functions of his own life to the utmost, has also the widest helpful influence, both personal, and by means of his possessions, over the lives of others.
