Since I'm a teacher I have my summmers free and reading is one of my absolute favorite things to do.

I had never heard of the book before last Sunday when a friend at church asked me if I had read it, and when I said I hadn't, she promised this Sunday to bring it for me to read. :-D She LOVES the book!

I'm definitely going to look for all of those! I've very much enjoyed several of Gene Stratton Porter's books...like <i>The Girl of the Limberlost</i>, <i>Laddie</i>, <i>The Harvester</i> (I really want to read that one again...it's been a long time), but I'd never heard of <i>The Magic Garden?</i> before...but it sounds simply delicious!<br/><br/><i>I still wish I had the pleasure of reading for the first time.</i><br/><br/>How funny...I was just thinking the same thing about the <i>Anne</i> books today! I'm re-re-re-reading them and though they seem to get better each time, sometimes it would be nice if I didn't know what was going to happen...but then if I didn't know, I guess I'd lose the delight of anticipating it too!<br/><br/>Thanks again for the recommendations...and if you have anymore, I'd love to know what they are...good, beautiful and wholesome novels are hard to find...<br/><br/>Have a glorious rest of summer!

I just love delicious wholesome old novels. =) I've stumbled across a several on www.gutenberg.org, a free online library. It has some some unwholesome books as well, so you have to be careful, but it's be fun to read books that aren't in our local library. Of course, it's not the same as holding a book in your hand...
