"Children's Classics for Grown-Ups": a new Book Group at Bath Library

This Blog is called "Roses in December", which is a quotation from perhaps the world's most famous children's book: J M Barrie's "Peter Pan". 

It's also the title for my new Book Group, which I am looking forward to starting at Bath Library in June 2011.  It's going to be a little different to the usual group, because it's for adults who are interested in reading, re-reading, discovering and talking about Children's books, old and new. 

Our Group will meet once a month - every first Wednesday - at Bath Central Library, The Podium, Northgate Street, Bath, Somerset, BA1 5AN.  The first meeting is on 8 June 2011.

Anyone who is interested can sign up by contacting Bath Library (tel: 01225 394 041).  It's for a maximum of ten people: first come, first served. 

I'm hoping this Blog will be for those who can come to the Group and anyone who can't come in person but who wants to read along with us.  Everyone is welcome to share their views here on the books we are reading, to make suggestions about books to read in future, or to propose ideas for visits, special events and other related activities.

I've got a couple of weeks now to prepare for the first meeting and get to grips with any housekeeping stuff.

Looking forward to agreeing the first book!
