The Book Thief by helenmoss

The Book Thief

I wasn't happy with my photos of daffodils today so instead, am filling in with another picture of my stroll in the sunshine in Cambridge yesterday. I always stop to peruse the huge selection of posters and flyers attached to the railings all over the centre of town, imagining myself in a parallel universe where I spend my evenings attending recitals and reviews and art shows instead of driving kids to football or basketball or scouts.

But this time my attention was captured by a heartfelt MISSING plea. But it's not a stray cat or dog that's gone AWOL, but a "large grey pull-along suitcase containing 40 history books"
How did that happen? A large grey suitcase would be hard to misplace, surely? Or did someone steal it. It can't have been easy - books are heavy! Imagine the culprit's disappointment when they opened the case to find 40 history books inside. I'm so intrigued, I may have to phone Harry just to find out.
Poor Harry! They were probably his whole years worth of books. Very expensive...or maybe insurance will help?

Oh no!! Saw one of these pleading for help to find three years' worth of lab books a few years ago - makes you want to cry!

Poor Harry, what a shame to have lost all those books. Probably books in low print numbers and old enough to be difficult to replace.

This is really sad. :-(

I can see this as the starting point of a film or novel...!

Would someone deliberately steal a suitcase full of history books? I'm sure there is someone out there besides Harry that would treasure them. Perhaps they will hit it off and a romance will be born. :o)

Oh dear that is sad - hope he finds them.

Poor Harry I hope he gets his books back ok.

The mind boggles!! Could they have done a runner, maybe they were parked at the top of a slope and finished up in the river!
