<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 510046, member: 649&quot;]Glad I&#039;m not the only one that does this, LOL! For me, the difficulty has been that most of the books I read as a child were sent here to the US by my British grandparents so finding them here is next-to-impossible and I therefore have to pay exorbitant postage costs to get them. When possible, I prefer to get them in the same binding that I used to have.</p><p>I googled/searched for some time before I was able to find out what one of my favorite childhood books was called. All I could remember was that it was about a little girl who got sick and was bed-ridden at home for several months. She finds a magic pencil and whatever she draws comes to life in her dreams. <i>Marianne Dreams</i> by Catherine Storr. (Apparently, it was adapted into an opera libretto in 1999!)</p><p><br /></p><p>So now, another White Whale of mine is a reasonably-priced edition of the sequel, <i>Marianne and Mark</i>, which I&#039;ve never read.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
