The Jungle Book

Kipling’s jungle book was not what I expected and not just ‘Disney’. One of the stories about a family trying to survive a harsh winter was frightening. Definitely environmental themes in a book written in the late 1800s. Read in November 2021.

The Alchemist

Enjoyed this from Paulo Coelho. Was on my shelf for a long time but picked it up and read in two sittings. Painted nice images in my mind of Andalusia and the Sahara. Read in April 2021.
