10th December




day-10       

Today’s reading is from The Christmas Cat by Robert Westall. The cat itself does not figure in this selection but we were unable to resist the description of the party. Westall had a wonderful eye for just how people really behave. This story is set in the north-east of England in 1934. It’s a short book, only 96 pages and really suitable for reading out loud to younger children.

    Beautifully read by the student.
    Will there be a Christmas party in CW library? And will there be crumbs on the floor?
    What a lovely idea to do Advent podcasts? I wonder whether we could introduce them here too! Merry Christmas from Melbourne to Greenford.
    Hope you are all well.

    We are having our Librarians’ Christmas party today and I suspect that there may be a few crumbs left on the floor. Merry Christmas to you and thanks for listening!
