First, let’s look at the reasons why some Christians do not celebrate Christmas. ![]() ![]() These letters eventually became The Wind in the Willows, which Grahame published right after his retirement. Just before his retirement, Grahame and his wife took a trip-and Alistair agreed to stay home with his nanny, provided Grahame wrote him letters with bedtime stories.

Hopefully we will get the nice guy Skeeve we all love back in the next book.Īudio Note: Noah Michael Levine performed this very well. I was not all happy as it seems Skeeve himself is developing in a negative direction. It adds a fresh perspective to things and opens up more new stories. There was even a shock POV character to finish the book with! I'm hoping that this mulit-POV narration continues for the rest of the series. I liked the change as we got to see things from a few different perspectives and the new POV characters got a chance to develop even more. The previous books have all been told from Skeeve's POV, but this one branched out and gave some time to characters like Chumly, Guido, and Masha. However is did bring a notable change in direction. This latest installment in the Myth series was as fast paced, witty, and fun as we have come to expect from the series. ![]() ![]() ![]() įatty Legs was later followed by A Stranger at Home, as well as editions for younger readers entitled When I Was Eight and Not My Girl.
