[Kartographer]

I am Guilty! I read ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘Lord of the Rings’ as well as Dennis McKiernan’s ‘The Iron Tower’ among others as they grew up.

My father read to all 7 of us, as we lay or sat on the floor listening to such novels as, Tom Sawyer, and at Christmas, A Christmas Carol.

He would change his voice depending on the character speaking. The most enjoyable and frightening at the same time, was the voice of Jacob Marley.

I wish I could go back to that time, when we all sat around and listened to our father read to us.
