Re: UKLeG - yes, the news she died was what got us all talking about her on the main thread so I think that made her naturally a choice for this month.

Great memories of reading the books many, many years ago... and more recently to my children. But should I pause and take any comments elsewhere? What is this book thread of which you speak?
