A couple of you mention libraries--I should mention that we're doing a drawing for libraries, a complete set of Russells, for National Library Week beginning the 13th. And of course, books for readers as well--it's at http://www.laurierking.com/?page_id=2653<BR/><BR/>And I hope those of you who haven't looked at the original Holmes stories, do so--they're enormous fun. And as Ladytink says, it's always good to read the originals first.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the warm welcome,<BR/><BR/>LaurieLaurie Kinghttp://www.laurierking.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-6690853703224470982009-04-01T09:59:00.000+02:002009-04-01T09:59:00.000+02:00Very enjoyable post, I myself am a loyal LRK fan a...Very enjoyable post, I myself am a loyal LRK fan and I'm anxiously waiting for my Grand-girls to get just a bit older (oldest is 10) before introducing them to Mary Russell.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507805543567886633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-21786759037070164722009-04-01T09:58:00.001+02:002009-04-01T09:58:00.001+02:00Very enjoyable post, I myself am a loyal LRK fan a...Very enjoyable post, I myself am a loyal LRK fan and I'm anxiously waiting for my Grand-girls to get just a bit older (oldest is 10) before introducing them to Mary Russell.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507805543567886633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-12458550235927748802009-04-01T09:58:00.000+02:002009-04-01T09:58:00.000+02:00Very enjoyable post, I myself am a loyal LRK fan a...Very enjoyable post, I myself am a loyal LRK fan and I'm anxiously waiting for my Grand-girls to get just a bit older (oldest is 10) before introducing them to Mary Russell.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507805543567886633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-78736594935176300892009-03-30T08:08:00.000+02:002009-03-30T08:08:00.000+02:00I fell in love with the Mary Russell books at age ...I fell in love with the Mary Russell books at age 12 because, like LRK, I spent my time with books and not my peers.
