I didn't make the "white" connection, though, so I'm not so fond of it anymore.

How many scenes and ideas were "borrowed" from She and King Solomon's Mines? <br /><br />I didn't have time to explore it in this post, but it is interesting that Kipling, Haggard, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Henry James were all close friends. Quite a group, that.

Lawrence. A highly complimentary buffet of thought!<br />I disliked "The White Seal" for the same reason.<br />I'm glad your kids enjoyed the reading!Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446914963118461073noreply@blogger.com
