The Toymakers |

|
I just finished a great book, "The Toymakers" by Robert |
|
Dinsdale. |
|
From the Amazon description: |
|
"It is 1917, and while war wages across Europe, in the heart of |
|
London, there is a place of hope and enchantment. |
|
The Emporium sells toys that capture the imagination of children |
|
and adults alike: patchwork dogs that seem alive, toy boxes that |
|
are bigger on the inside, soldiers that can fight battles of |
|
their own. Into this family business comes young Cathy Wray, |
|
running away from a shameful past. The Emporium takes her in, |
|
makes her one of its own. |
|
But Cathy is about to discover that the Emporium has secrets of |
|
its own..." |
|
Liked it so much that when I finished the ebook, I ordered a |
|
hard copy. I do that about once a year. |

MW, this sounds fascinating, thanks for sharing! |
|
I'm going to move it under "Entertainment" just because we would |
|
like to keep the "General Discussion" for stuff that doesn't fit |
|
into the other categories, unless there's a reason that you |
|
think it should remain where it is? |

No worries! I just didn't want to move it without saying |
|
something, and leave you scratching your head. ;) |

Mice do look adorable scratching their heads though. |
|
I am going to add this to the wishlist. |
