I hope you have had a most enjoyable Christmas and had some time to put you’re your feet up and relax.
Theres no other time like Christmas time to reflect upon the power of children’s stories. Many children’s books are adapted to film and at Christmas we are reminded of the old greats as well as the more contemporary children’s stories as they are played out across all of the networks!

The Borrowers (Mary Norton)
The Spiderwick Chronicles (Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi)
