h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You should read Brian Jacque's Redwall series

Hello P-S! Good to meet you.

Would you mind telling me a little about the book, please? If it sounds interesting, I will try and find it. I love being recommended books. If the book is about nature's creatures , and if you too love them , then maybe I could recommend a book to you: Mike Tomkies' "Out Of The Wild". I have read it twice and it never fails to utterly charm me.

Um this may seem a little strange.

OK, the author's British. The series was written for children and young adults. The books are about an abbey of mice and other woodland animals including squirrels, otters, shrews, hedgehogs, and moles. these peace loving creatures are often provoked by rats and other "varmints" into protecting their home, usually resulting in an epic battle (sometimes involving badgers). All the books are set in the medieval period, and all the books show no trace of humans. Except for the first book, Redwall, which in the very beginning has a driver-less carriage being pulled by a horse.

I can try to clear up any points or specific questions. if you want to read these books you should be able to find them at any large bookstore.

Thank you, PS. Were you initially joking with me?? I can well understand now if you were. I am a very serious nature lover, but have this Alice-in-wonderland fantasy to become a small creature in order to experience living with the animals!!! I know it sounds dotty. I think it is escapism!! But, hey, I am really quite sane. Just in love too much with creatures.

I also meant to add that creatures are much nicer than mankind IMHAHO!!!

It just seemed uncanny that you mentioned all of the animals from his books. I meant no disrespect. I will agree you animals often seem much nicer than humans.

Good morning PS.

I know you weren't being unkind! I just assume that I must seem odd to have such a strange longing!! If I tell you that I study astronomy, am in a poetry group, have read poetry to school children, and adore classical music-will you believe that I am quite sane?!



Enjoy your Sunday. It is a very sunny morning here , but rather chilly.

A poetry group?

Are you sure that you're sane?

I can only seem to get into either the epic poems of the Greek's and Roman's (Iliad, Odyssey, and the Aeneid) and the iambic pentameter of Shakespeare). I enjoy EE cummings, but only because of the unusual style

Dear oh dear. You must make a mental note:
'Put a copy of Palgrave's on Wish-List'!!

Goodnight.
