As you walk towards the east, then the shadows rise

The name Ruth Park meant nothing to me, until I saw that she had written Playing Beatie Bow (1980). I had already heard about Dick King-Smith.

Anyone else I read before the age of eleven dies this month, I fire it.

That's an amazing picture of her in the obituary.

This month can be fired, I think.

I hadn't heard about Dick King-Smith...

Oh no! (To both ... .)

I came to King-Smith late: I took his "Sophie" books out for The Young Lady when she was in the early grades.

I love Playing Beatie Bow. I tried a couple of her other books, but they were much more ordinary.

I'm sorry. I hope you'll not find cause to fire the month.

Loved Beatie Bow too. Boo.
