126 days into my year long making of a daily still life and we have another one of my favourite books. Geraldine Brooks is a wonderful author and 'People of the Book' is a gripping read. It is the story of one book the people who owned it and left their mark on it. A book that I return to periodically.
Julia Donaldson: “I Opened a Book”
I Opened a Book
“I opened a book and in I strode.
Now nobody can find me.
I’ve left my chair, my house, my road,
My town and my world behind me.
I’m wearing the cloak, I’ve slipped on the ring,
I’ve swallowed the magic potion.
I’ve fought with a dragon, dined with a king
And dived in a bottomless ocean.
I opened a book and made some friends.
I shared their tears and laughter
And followed their road with its bumps and bends
To the happily ever after.
I finished my book and out I came.
The cloak can no longer hide me.
My chair and my house are just the same,
But I have a book inside me.”
this is nice - i really like the muted tones of the colours!
thank you for my push challenge... for you, i see you are working on "still life" images... for get pushed, how about doing a still life in the kitchen - aiming for something that might be seen in a magazine?
A lovely shot of this book. I read this last year and thoroughly enjoyed it but my copy didn’t have a cover as nice as yours.
My favourite of hers is Year of Wonders.
