The author's father-who worked as a type compositor with the BELFAST TELEGRAPH, and whose favorite books were westerns-is the person Sam McBratney credits for giving him his love of the English language. Where does Sam McBratney get his inspiration? "I told my children stories when they were young," he says, "so when I write I try to think of what they would have liked." But there may be another source guiding his writing as well. "But, as the frog trapped in the milk discovered, if you keep going, sometimes you find yourself walking on cream cheese." "This is not the sort of thing you expect when most of your books have been remaindered," the author admits. The fifty-seventh book of Sam McBratney's career, and his first book with Candlewick Press, was the much-loved GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, which has sold an astonishing 15 million copies worldwide, and is available in 37 languages. But he continued writing for a more-personal reason: "the act of imagining simply makes me feel good," he says. ![]() The 1943 born Northern Ireland native started writing children's books when he was a teacher in his thirties, with the aim of helping out students who had trouble reading. ![]() ![]() ![]() OL26443735W Page_number_confidence 93.15 Pages 294 Partner Innodata Pdf_module_version 0.0.17 Ppi 360 Rcs_key 24143 Republisher_date 20211124140735 Republisher_operator Republisher_time 490 Scandate 20211118172530 Scanner Scanningcenter cebu Scribe3_search_catalog isbn Scribe3_search_id 9780956462619 Tts_version 4.

I went through the introduction and found that the guy who threw this anthology together had a massive boner for Stephen King. I started out by reading from the beginning (as is the tradition with books, I hear). But I feel I’ve read everything I’m going to from this book (at least, for the time being), so we’ll call it “Read.” I technically should put this book on my “Abandoned” or “Hiatus” shelf, because I didn’t finish it.

So began the journey, now in its 150th year, of one of the most beloved stories of all time. The tale, initially titled Alice's Adventures Under Ground, became Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which Dodgson published in 1865 as Lewis Carroll. Dodgson recalled the pivotal moment thusly: "In a desperate attempt to strike out some new line of fairy-lore, I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole, to begin with, without the least idea what was to happen afterwards." Dodgson often spun fairy tales on these boating trips to pass the time, and on this particular afternoon the story was particularly well received by Alice, who afterwards entreated him to write it down for her. With him were three young friends from the Liddell family-the sisters Lorina, Edith, and Alice. ![]() Charles Lutwidge Dodgson took a rowboat out on the Thames.
