And I also just happened to stop in at the pound shop and buy a copy of Ted Hughes' \u003Ci>The Dreamfighter and other Creation Tales\u003C/i> and Susanna Clarke's \u003Ci>Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell\u003C/i>. This, despite the fact that I am going to a massive book fair in Bologna the day after tomorrow and will probably come home with a whole pack of books. (But they were only £2...) The coffee was great, I managed to write two more comic episodes. \\r\n\\r\nI recently got a great packet of books from Write Away to review, all fascinating and sophisticated in their own ways. I perhaps got a little bit carried away, and then didn't have time to give them proper reflection in case I said anything really stupid, but here they are:\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://www.writeaway.org.uk/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,3121/Itemid,99999999/\">Edwina: the Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct\u003C/a> by \u003Ca href=\"http://www.mowillems.com\">Mo Willems\u003C/a>\\r\nand\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://www.writeaway.org.uk/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,3129/Itemid,99999999/\">Beware of the Frog\u003C/a> by \u003Ca href=\"http://www.williambee.com\">William Bee\u003C/a>\\r\nand\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://www.writeaway.org.uk/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,3125/Itemid,99999999/\">Dudley the Daydreamer\u003C/a> by Anders Brundin and \u003Ca href=\"http://www.joannarubindranger.com\">Joanna Rubin Dranger\u003C/a> (She's Swedish and her website's a corker!)\\r\n\\r\nOne more thing before I head off to Italy...\\r\n\u003Cb>Lookybook\u003C/b> features an amazing version of \u003Ca href=\"http://lookybook.com/mainpage.php?name_id=1393\">Jabberwocky\u003C/a>, illustrated by Canadian Stéphane Jorisch.
