Et, surtout, ayez bien les yeux grands ouverts sur le monde entier, car les plus grands secrets se trouvent toujours aux endroits les plus inattendus.

A recent trip to Philadelphia brought me to a wonderful small bookstore where I found a complete set of 'The Mennyms' in hardcover!

Sarah, Percy and Bill are three owl babies. One night they awake to find their mother gone. They stay awake and await her return. After a while when she doesn't return, they get a little worried. What a cute book. I enjoyed it. The owl babies were very cute.

I think of James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, Lord Peter Wimsey as exam...

The little sea-thing child is dropped off by the ocean on the shoreline and he is too afraid to try flying back or swimming back to whence he came.
