I read H is for Hawk a few years ago and very much enjoyed it. The map of Skara Brae, talk of booksfrom the Mesolithic period and you reading Peter Rabbit to Mimi made me remember reading "The Boy with the Bronze Axe" by Kathleen Fiddler to a wee Andrew. He is now fifteen and at the minute not really for picking up a book, but those times were precious and I do believe the stories and the connection through reading them together will always stay with us.
For some reason this reminds me of a book I read as a child, called something like Last Day of the Romans, about a young Briton who makes friends with a Roman boy the day they leave the country. It was the first book I read by myself that made me cry. I read some of H is for Hawk in a thunderstorm under canvas by torchlight last night. Exquisite!
I love the memories books create. That sounds like bliss! I was actually just thinking of having a reading retreat in the garden in a wee two man tent we just got, rain on canvas would be a bonus 😊
Omg, I loved H is for Hawk soooooo much. Amazing 🖤
same! it made me interested in the Arthur legend too.
