Back in 2002 I responded to the Monday Mission question with the following:
What was (is) one of your favorite Children’s books?What’s the book with “moon face” and the guy with all the saucepans? (comments please!) I thoroughly enjoyed “The Hobbit”. At age 10 I was reading Greek myths, and not long after that, plugging through my big-brother’s (grown up) sci-fi collection. “The dark is rising” series by Susan Cooper spings to mind as another favourite - especially if you want a reasonably well researched look at British Paganism! I dont remember many children’s books.

I dont know if I am living in a time warp. but, someone finally responded to the “comments please” part of that and left me a note sayingThe Saucepanman and Moon face are in the Magic Faraway Tree books by Enid Blyton. I suppose I should file this under “strange but true”, or “things that make you go hmmm” (anyone remember that song, who sang it and when it was getting airplay? In my mind I can picture being with friends in Nashville, perhaps around summer of 1997, but that could be way off). |
