escape into other almost-familiar worlds
Of all the things I 'lost' in the divorce, I would reckon I most miss my Mother-in-Law's sewing machine, the Le Crueset pots, and the 'Dictionary of Imaginary Places'. So to be reunited with Imaginary Places after all this time is a delight. I have the book on the hall table and open to a new page from time to time. I'm currently singing 'the owl and the pussy cat' to the description of 'Bong Tree Island'.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
