We have one book with two votes at this stage, needing one more vote to get in the poll, and another that needs two more votes to get in.
Is there anyone out there with a spare vote or two to help them over the line? I have used all mine up. Last edited by Bookpossum; 05-05-2018 at 08:03 AM. |

We have one book left that has two nods. It just needs on more nod.

I posted the link for Project Gutenberg Greyfriars Bobby and it seems to have been ignored. It should be in the poll thread and it's not. It should be there so those that vote for it or want to read it know where to get it.

Quote:
I am pleased to read that even those that studied his life in more detail found nothing ugly in his dealings with children. As noted in my nomination, I found the early chapters touching and intriguing - more so than the Peter Pan chapters. I found it fascinating that he (the narrator, who it seems is obviously based on Barrie himself) should have such affection for children and yet sees them clearly as "gay and innocent and heartless". Correction: the quote "gay and innocent and heartless" comes from Peter and Wendy, not from The Little White Bird - though the same sentiment exists pretty clearly in the text.
