A bunch of us readers are sharing the first lines of a book and we all link up at the Linky at A Few More Pages. Everyone is welcome to join us.
Yesterday I started reading Enchanted Glass by Diana Wynne-Jones, one of my favorite YA authors. Sadly she died in March 2011, but her books live on.
When Jocelyn Brandon died – at a great old age, as magicians tend to do – he left his house and his field-of-care to his grandson, Andrew Brandon Hope. Andrew himself was in his thirties. The house, Melstone House, was a simple matter of making a Will. But it had been old Jocelyn’s intention to pass the field-of-care on in the proper way, personally.
He left it rather too late. …..
Jeg elsker denne boken. Det er en av mine favorittbøker av DWJ. Men det er så mange andre som er nesten like gode. Phinoe egg og House of many ways, er også nyere favoritter. Phinoe egg er en av de beste Crestromanchi-bøkene.
Å lese Diana Wynne-Jones er igrunnen eit stort luksusproblem.
Sant nok, Enchanted Glass er den jeg har lest om igjen flest ganger. Howl’s moving castle er nr. 2.
Looks interesting! In my mind I am combining the first sentence with that picture on the cover and trying to figure out what is going on!
I’m not far enought into it to tell you
Love the cover.
