Pure treasure!
I forgot to tell you that she very recently found a copy of one of his charming books.
The Three Royal Monkeys was first published in 1910 under the title of The Three Mulla-Mulgers.
Here is the a snippet for you to get your literary taste buds going..
'On a day when snow lay thick on the forest floor, Thumb, Thimble and Nod set off to seek their homeland, the beautiful valley of Tishnar. They wore warm jackets and carried bundles on their shoulders - and Nod, for he had magic in him, was guardian of their most precious possession, the milk-white Wonderstone'.
This book, she has never read before, will be read and then handed onto an old friend.
Why is she giving a childrens' book to an adult?
Well, you see Peter Jenner, one of her dearest friends, is the grandfather of three small people.
He has spent a lot of his life living in Africa and will know exactly how to make the sounds of an African jungle.
And yes, you are right, Dear Readers, it is for his three grandchildren that Hugo sent her on that hunt yesterday.
So now we know what she will be reading between now and December 28th.
FlapFlap and yes Pegeen, Parrot language is a'catching.. PipPip to you and all your beloveds!
GeeGee Parrot.
