Today picked up a copy of Neil Gaiman's
Stardust , which should be a good read, but have recently taken another look at Graham Oakley's
Church Mice series... Yes, kid's books. But with incredibly detailed illustrations (that add a lot to the stories, and frequently provide an entirely different perspective), and a church cat named Sampson (who's taken a vow never to harm mice), and, well... here's a sample.
The Diary of a Church Mouse starts out:
"My New Year's Resolution this year was to start work right away on the Story of My Life, but I'd hardly finished one sentence before up breezes Arthur and says that really it's best to wait until you're very old before you write your life story because by then you'll know what happens in the last chapter. I said that it was more likely that by then you'd have forgotten what happened in the first. But he says no you wouldn't, not if you kept a diary. Well, I must say, that sounded a pretty good idea which is quite surprising because Arthur doesn't have many of those. For once I'm going to take his advice. So here goes.
1st January Absolutely nothing happened.
2nd January Ditto
3rd - 8th January Very uneventful."
(Things finally got going after the snowfall on January 11th...)
