I love sharing books with my boyfriend - it is such a close thing to
do. He is currently reading me an extremely surreal childrens' book
called "Uncle" which is abut Uncle the elephant and the inhabitants of
his vast estate. It is fantastic! If anyone knows anything more about
these books please let me know - they are extremely difficult to obtain
in England.
They are the "Uncle" series, by PG Martin,and are illustrated by
Quentin Blake.
Thanks,
Lucy-Ruth
