Though once I caught a glimpse of some glass coffin and some guy buried alive. YUCK. <br /><br />I'm glad my readings of Potter have not steered ME in that direction.amanda juddhttp://venue-x.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636747356450108593.post-56775211775555712632010-10-12T21:15:37.763-04:002010-10-12T21:15:37.763-04:00Beatrix Potter had a countrywoman's and natura...Beatrix Potter had a countrywoman's and naturalist's feeling for the casual cruelty of life.

My son Joseph told me recently that he would have nightmares about the witch character. She would wait on the edge of the woods for children and would entice them into her house where she would eat them. He told me that I was the witch in his dreams and he worried that I would one day eat him. I'm glad he finally got the courage to tell me. I hope I don't do the same to my grandchildren. <br />Readers to children beware!sitting stillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18200796577140619104noreply@blogger.com
