Happy books…

My reading aloud to an adult has been halted by the Coronavirus of course but over the last year we’ve read an assortment of happy books – not always funny but books that made us happy. ‘Just William’ by Richmal Crompton, ‘Queen Lucia’ by E. F Benson followed by the same author’s ‘Miss Mapp’. Then ‘Daddy-Long-Legs’ by Jean Webster. P.G. Wodehouse’s ‘Joy in the Morning’ lined up next. It’s a book I love so much because I remember buying it from the open once a week bookshop in a cupboard at my Grammar School where I’d not long started and was very unhappy. I can still remember the escapist happiness it brought.
