Rereading a childhood favorite is like revisiting an old friend.
I feel exactly like this. I am only miffed that the publisher who holds the rights of most of my favourite childhood books, just doesn't believe in ebooks...

You know, I never read these... I did know of them, but our library didn't have them.
