How the Heather Looks: A Joyous Journey to the British Sources of Children's Books by Joan Bodger, Mark Lang

4.0

A pleasant enough travelogue and recounting of visits to real places associated with some of our favorite children’s British literature. I realized I’ve been to several of the places described herein, and I was happy to revisit and get a new appreciation for said places (Stowe, Windermere, etc.). I’m kicking myself for not finishing a read-aloud of Swallows and Amazons yet but on the other hand thoroughly proud we all read or listened to all of the Pooh books and The Wind in the Willows in particular and hope those hours spent doing so lodged deeply into my children’s memories as they have in mine.
