Reading this book on Christmas Eve has been a family tradition for as long as I can remember. My dad would read it to me when I was a kid.

It‘s a beautiful little story, and I love it, and the movie adaptation. 🩵

#SundayFunday Have a wonderful day, and don‘t forget to tag me!

A beautiful, grim story of atmosphere and characters in dire straits. The ending was strange and unexpected. #shortyseptember2024

THE THIRD MAGIC was a huge deal for me when I was a kid. I paid SERIOUS MONEY for it at the Book Market (we‘re taking $1.75, compared to

xicanti I‘ve come back to in recent years. The prose, worldbuilding, and story structure give young readers full credit. It feels very Diana Wynne Jones meets Guy Gavriel Kay. I hope it doesn‘t pull any 80s dodginess in the back half. (edited) 8mo

I was going to re-read my existing copy of Thomas's nostalgic "A Child's Christmas in Wales", then today I saw this edition with illustrations by Edward Ardizzone and had to get it as he's an iconic illustrator from my own childhood, so now the nostalgia is multiplied!
Some of the illustrations are plain ink, others are painted, all are wonderful, and, of course, Thomas's beautiful, aching and funny prose poetry ? ❄️???????❄️

AnnR It looks like a wonderful edition! I also really enjoy this poem. 12mo
LeahBergen I‘ve been meaning to pick up a copy of this edition for the last couple of years. ❤️ 12mo
Bookwomble @AnnR @LeahBergen It is a lovely edition, and at the risk of being a Book Enabler, I'd encourage you both to get a copy 😁 12mo

I found this historical fiction of Llewelyn of Wales at the bargain bookstore for $4. What really caught my eye is how worn and well-read it was compared to the books next to it.
