The Gift of Life Stories: J.R.R. Tolkien
To tell a story, whether your own life story or any other type, is to share a piece of you, a part of your world and how you see it. J.R.R. Tolkien did this, sharing stories and an entirely new world, Middle-earth, that have resonated with readers, filmmakers, authors, artists, and fans down through the decades.
I picked up my first Elsa Beskow book only two years ago. Unfortunately, I did not grow up with her but my children will. At first I was attracted by the bright and simple illustrations but then fell in love with the characters, simple domestic charm, and lively fair folk that teach of neighborliness, gratitude, responsibility and consequences. Her masterful combination of playful pictures and potent principles is the reason I keep taking Elsa’s books home to my family.
