If you like stories threaded within stories, intrigue, magic, voyages and danger, then “Aladdin and The Arabian Nights” is for you. Images of deserts, royalty, ships and oceans are conjured from my mind when I think of these stories. It is a book that runs all over the place, new characters popping up only toContinue reading “Arabian Nights”

I love a happy ending. In a world where there is much heart ache and frustration, it is nice to have a story where good wins. Ella has gone to the ball.

The only hope she carries with her is thatContinue reading “Ella, Some Tea and A Recipe”

Ella’s small family is much like the March family in “Little women.” They value self education, work hard, believe the best in people and always strive to share cheerful kindness. It seems like the idyllic childhood until her mother’s life is cut short. Despite this deep loss, Ella obeys her mother’s last dying wish…to beContinue reading “Have Courage and Be Kind”

However, as you recall Hook found their home a while back and was now putting a plan into action, to steal Pan’s mother, Wendy. As everyone was leaving to go to the Darlings home in London, the pirates had beenContinue reading “Hook, Art and Having A Mother”

I last met you with Hook playing a bit of a game with Peter Pan. We were out by the lagoon with the mermaids and Tiger lily, as well as Hook and Smee. Peter sneakily loosened Tigerlily’s bands and she swam to freedom. Hook and Peter fell upon each other on the opposite sides ofContinue reading “Leaving Neverland and Charlotte Mason”
