I love reading. I read more than three hours a day. I hope to encourage someone to read the books I discuss. My favorite genres are classics, plays, children's books, and short stories.

The Wolves of Willoughby Chase
This classic book influenced many children's books after it's publication including one I recently read Peppermints in the Parlor. It's the story of two orphans who have to live in a a home where a wicked governess rules. She dismisses the servants and soon the children think of a way to leave. I think this even influenced Lemony Snicket. It has style AND substance. I just wish that the wolves were used more. They are only brought up like twice and for being in the title I was hoping that they would be more in the plot.
