Now that I have grandchildren, I am raking over my oral stories. Many of those tales we grew up on have pretty gruesome endings, do you remember? Like being thrown into the oven a la Hansel and Gretel. I agree with Jean, why would parents let their little girl meet the wolf in the first place?!!!Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09705309602853231946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-60552820085531742392010-01-16T09:20:59.724+11:002010-01-16T09:20:59.724+11:00Childhood anecdotes are the best, aren't they!...Childhood anecdotes are the best, aren't they!! Jemimah loves hearing about her Daddy's childhood. She also loves our 'love story' - how we met, what we were wearing, what we did at the wedding...<br /><br />He is much better at telling them than I am. Perhaps I should work at getting up my dozen.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573473465011631325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-14793427040819788452010-01-16T09:18:15.910+11:002010-01-16T09:18:15.910+11:00Sarah, I have just finished this lovely old book. ...Sarah, I have just finished this lovely old book. It is literature for mums, not kids. I'll try and write a review next week.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573473465011631325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-73897155921999263672010-01-16T08:51:17.857+11:002010-01-16T08:51:17.857+11:00That reminds me of our recent time in the ER - sev...That reminds me of our recent time in the ER - seven hours without a book and Max requesting story after story. I searched my mind for every one I could think of, mostly childhood anecdotes. <br /><br />I recently read in CM's writings that fathers and mothers should have a repertoire of stories - "a dozen will do" and that they are more important than books in the first five or six hears of life. Her take is they are better for a child's "digestion" and offer more scope for their imagination to grow upon.Richelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040133815286428699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-73539306811292685432010-01-16T08:31:05.090+11:002010-01-16T08:31:05.090+11:00What a lovely living book!
