Books are like flypaper, memories cling to the printed pages better than anything else.
There is a sort of busy worm, That will the fairest book deform. Their tasteless tooth will tear and taint The poet, patriot, sage or saint, Nor sparing wit nor learning. Now, if youβd know the reason why, The best of reasons Iβll supply: βTis bread to the poor vermin. J. Doraston, quoted by W. Blades
I have two Iceland horses, a very hairy dog called Looney, and a guinea pig.
I live in Hamburg; that's in the north. And I live on the outskirts of town. It looks like countryside.
Second, there are so many magical places in books that you can't go to, like Hogwarts and Middle Earth, so I wanted to set a story in a place where children can actually go.
