Both boys were absolutely rapt for <I>Huckleberry Finn</I> and <I>Animal Farm</I>. <I>The Hobbit</I> was the favorite book of one of them for years, and the other liked <I>Watership Down</I> so much that he memorized the rabbit language. IMHO, <I>The Hobbit</I> is far superior to <I>Lord of the Rings</I>.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10222703055177237209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937211191284874151.post-54583875817094234022009-05-25T19:54:24.179-07:002009-05-25T19:54:24.179-07:00Oops!
