This time we have All Creatures Great and Small  by James Herriot - the memoirs of a Yorkshire country vet.  This is an omnibus of his original books and was a very successful 80s British TV series - so well-remembered that the Yorkshire tourist board use the term 'Herriot Country'. 


Here's what The Librarian came up with:

This challenge will close on 18th May. 

  Challenge 31 (Chocolat)  will remain open for another week.

I hope you'll join The Library.

Debbie  found she had a neglected Mary Poppins stamp and made this wonderful shaped card:


Vanessa also used a Mary Poppins image, and coloured it beautifully:

This time we have Chocolat by Joanne Harris. The story is about a chocolate shop in a French village so chocolates and France are obvious themes, not to mention all the things on the cover...

Another Reminder from The Library - Mary Poppins (And a hint about Challenge 31)

Here's a final reminder to join in with the Mary Poppins challenge  which closes on 20th April.

This card was inspired by the film rather than the book ....but as the film was inspired by the book, that counts! Whereas I don't think there were kites in the original book, one does feature in the sequel (and I read that this scene is in the Mary Poppins Returns film).


More details on my blog.

The next challenge will start on April 14th and the book's name is a seasonal treat.
