This book was loved, I remember going to see the film and fell in love with the characters and story. I had this book for Christmas, I read, re-read and continued to read the book. I think I knew it by heart at one point. I've carried it around with me for 38 years, my children have read it and it's time for it to go to a new home, where I hope it will be loved and cherished. It is worn, no rips, some pages have been folded in the corners. And my name was written on the inside front sleeve.
