I have a small collection of his books and the two I'd like to read this year are The Whispering Land and The Drunken Forest. I adore all the lovely little illustrations the books have inside. Yes, there're lots of books and some nice children's ones. I have one about puppy and a Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-31527241875670712932016-01-06T08:06:58.416-05:002016-01-06T08:06:58.416-05:00Nope, actually he did!
